Baile Mhic Íre (sometimes anglicised as Ballymakeera or Ballymakeery)[1] is a small Gaeltacht village in the valley of the River Sullane in West Cork, Ireland close to the county boundary with County Kerry. It is located on the N22 national primary road and forms part of the twin villages of Ballymakeery and Ballyvourney. It is within the Muskerry Gaeltacht.
Three Ogham stones are located nearby with the somewhat later addition of a Christian shrine to St Abán.[2]
