Quarry, Parkagarraun, Co. Galway

At the edge of Parkagarraun in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, the kind of place that rarely attracts attention but speaks to the working history of the land around it.

Gravel extraction was once a thoroughly practical business in rural Ireland, supplying the aggregate needed for road-making and construction in an era when such materials had to be sourced close to where they were needed.
