Quarry, Knockshangarry, Co. Galway

At Knockshangarry in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, one of countless small extraction sites that punctuate the Irish countryside and rarely attract a second glance.

Gravel pits of this kind were working features of rural life, dug to supply road-making and building material for local use, then abandoned once the accessible deposit was exhausted or the need passed.
