Mining
In the townland of Carrowcreevanagh in County Galway, a disused quarry sits quietly in the landscape, its working life long finished and its stone-cut faces gradually softening back into the surrounding countryside.
Quarries like this one were once essential to rural Irish communities, providing the raw material for field walls, farmhouses, bridges, and churches across the west of Ireland, often worked by local labour with hand tools and little else.
