Mining
A disused gravel pit in Cartron, County Galway, is not the sort of place that typically draws much attention, and that, in its own quiet way, is part of what makes it worth a moment's consideration.
Gravel extraction was once a commonplace activity across rural Ireland, supplying material for road-building and local construction, and the pits left behind are scattered across the landscape in their hundreds, rarely recorded and more rarely visited with any purpose.
