Was a joke! a 'moot point' is a turn of phrase when there is a disagrrement between two parties.... a moot point between them! I know of some of the Anglo-Saxon meeting points as 'moot' or 'gemot', but this refers to the meeting of people, rather than the place. It has become a term used to mean the place as well over time. (I'm looking at a bit of A-S language in relation to the naming of some prehistoric sites - very useful for folklore!)
