Mining
At Marblehill in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, the kind of small industrial absence that accumulates in the countryside over generations and is rarely given a second thought.
Gravel extraction was once common work across Ireland, supplying material for roads and construction, and the pits left behind tend to blend back into the land, filling gradually with water or scrub, their original purpose forgotten by most who pass them.
