There seems to be a mixture of old and modern Irish Gaelic here. The article heading is Emain Macha, which is an old Irish term, followed by Ulaid also Old Irish (The modern terms are Eamhain Macha and Ulaidh which contain the necessary aspiration). However people's names are in modern Irish - Conchobhar - Concobar.
- "Conchobar" is the Old Irish form - ch was already part of the orthography, but other mutations like bh weren't yet marked, altough they were spoken. Intervocalic c would have been pronounced like a g. --Nicknack009 00:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Why is this article under the Old Irish spelling? Given that this is the English Wikipedia, surely it should be under Navan Fort? I propose moving it. Cripipper 15:43, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Visitors centre not closed
Article states, that the visitors centre was closed at 2001, however I visited the site in July 2006 and there is a very modern visitors centre nearby with multimedia information, tourist shop etc. --Gorn 19:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- It did close in 2001, but I'm glad to hear it's reopened. A visit would be in order... --Nicknack009 19:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- A quick Google discovers a BBC news item that says it reopened last year, unfortunately only on a seasonal basis, so I can't go till next April. Info and links added to the article. --Nicknack009 19:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
