Guys, maybe you're being a little too quick to judge here?
Even if you're correct and Hagg only means "a scrubby type land e.g covered in gorse" it's still interesting to consider how or why we use 'Hagg' to describe an infertile barren female/piece of earth that lies beyond the civilised/farmed. It's connotations feed back into Cope's idea of the sacred female being ostrasized or made 'of the heath' by an in-coming patriarchal religion. The act of naming being the prize given to those in charge.
