Rahier is a sub-municipality of the municipality of Stoumont.

There are several small ancient manganese mines:

Several sites to the east (2 km; site named 'Meuville' and 'Rouge Thier') and to the west (1 km) of the principal road in the 'Vallée de la Lienne' (https://www.mindat.org/loc-13103.html).

Another old mine 800 m to the south.
