Quarry, Caher, Co. Galway

On the edge of the townland of Caher in County Galway, a disused quarry sits quietly in the landscape, one of countless such workings that once supplied the raw material for field walls, farmhouses, and road foundations across the west of Ireland.

Quarrying was a fundamental part of rural industry here, and the scars it left behind are rarely celebrated or even noticed, which is perhaps what makes them worth pausing over.
