Glenahiry (Irish : Gleann na hUidhre [1] ) is a barony in County Waterford, Republic of Ireland. [2] [3]
Glenahiry barony is derived from the Irish for "valley of the River Nier", which is called An Uidhir ("dun, brown") in Irish. [4] The Nier joins the River Suir at Ballymakee. [5]
Glenahiry is located in northern County Waterford, east of the River Suir and west of the Comeragh Mountains. The Nier Valley Woodlands are a Special Area of Conservation. [6]
Glenahiry was the ancient territory of the Mac Cairbre (Carbery). [7] [8] [9]
