Mining
At Cooleeny in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, the kind of feature that rarely earns a second glance but speaks to a long and practical relationship between local communities and the ground beneath them.
Gravel pits of this sort were once worked to supply the roads, farms, and building projects of rural Ireland, drawing on glacial deposits left behind after the last ice age shaped the terrain of Connacht.
