Found this in the news, does anyone in Ireland know of it please? the argument seems to centre on the name Nevitt being an adaptation of Nemed - a celtic sacred place - the site in question a large ditched enclosure......
It would make some sense nemeton / nemeid when lenited in gaelic would sound like Nevitt . i.e mh =v . Dunno the site though . "Landfill hearing reopens on concern that site is prehistoric 'sacred place"
