Mining
Outside the townland of Shanbally in County Galway, a shallow depression in the landscape marks the site of a disused gravel pit, the kind of industrial remnant that accumulates quietly on the edges of rural places without drawing much attention.
Gravel extraction of this sort was once a common feature of the Irish countryside, supplying material for road-building and local construction, and the pits left behind tend to be absorbed gradually back into the land around them.
