But change is stirring in the land.</p><p></p><p>In the nearby settlement of Dolgolvan farmers are carving out a new world one of settled fields and fixed boundaries. Bran finds himself caught between loyalty to his people's traditions and the inevitability of progress. Through his eyes witness the delicate balance of cooperation and conflict the struggle to adapt and the quiet beauty of the natural world - its plants animals and birds - that sustains them all.</p><p></p><p>With a keen eye for detail and a deep reverence for the humanity of the past Quarry is a poignant exploration of a pivotal moment in human history where the old ways clash with the new and the land itself bears witness to the dawn of a different age.</p>
