Mining
Near Kilmeen in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, one of countless small extractive workings that punctuate the Irish countryside yet rarely attract much attention.
Gravel pits of this kind were once essential to the fabric of rural life, supplying material for road surfaces, farm tracks, and building foundations long before centralised quarrying operations made them redundant.
