Mining
At Caraunduff in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, one of countless small industrial scars that punctuate the Irish countryside and are rarely afforded a second glance.
Gravel pits of this kind were once a practical necessity across rural Ireland, supplying the aggregate used in road-making and local construction, and their abandonment typically followed the exhaustion of workable material or the arrival of larger, more centralised supply operations.
