This work honours the generations of farmers and bogland workers in Roscommon whose labour shaped both land and community. Their work, often unrecognized, was vital: tilling soil, cutting turf, and sustaining households through resilience and perseverance.

It is a reminder of the hard physical effort that supported Irish livelihoods for centuries. Beyond survival, their contribution formed the backbone of cultural identity and continuity in the region; a testament to the quiet but essential role of those who worked closest to the land.
