Merge proposal

[edit]

According to Ordnance Survey maps and the Placenames Database of Ireland, this hill's proper name is "Carrigmaclea". Also, the OS maps show that it's merely a low hill attached to the much larger Slievenamon. It doesn't seem to be notable otherwise.
Hence, I propose we merge and redirect it to Slievenamon. ~Asarlaí 22:20, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A merge makes sense. Unlikely this article will greatly expand. On the issue of how the hill should be named at its new home, I would be inclined to generally favour the present form but mention the official alternative. (Possible typo at some stage at OSI?) The hill seems most notable as the site of a battle, and in reference to it, Carraigmoclear hill is invariably used. Also, a redirect with the 'official' name would cover that base.
