Mining
On the edge of Timsallagh in County Galway, a disused gravel pit sits quietly in the landscape, the kind of place that rarely draws attention but carries its own modest record of human industry.
Gravel extraction, once a common and unglamorous necessity across rural Ireland, supplied the raw material for road-making and construction, and the pits left behind when the work ended often become subtle features of the countryside, slowly reclaimed by scrub and grass.
