Roadstone

That big hole in the ground near the Moneen Roundabout is the source of much of the building material used in the Castlebar area. And there is a building boom in progress at present. An aerial view gives a good idea of the scale of this major limestone quarry. The regular dynamite blasts on Friday afternoons are regular enough to set your watch by!
