Amon Lhaw
Amon Lhaw (
S. 'Hill of Ear') is a fictional
geographical feature in
J. R. R. Tolkien's
Middle-earth.
One of the 3 peaks above the
Falls of Rauros where they drained
Nen Hithoel it towered among the
Emyn Muil on the eastern banks of the
Anduin. Its
twin,
Amon Hen (The Hill of Sight) lay upon the western bank. Between them, at the very centre of the stream above Rauros, was the island hill of
Tol Brandir upon which none had ever set foot.
Though at one time Amon Lhaw had been part of the northern borderlands of
Gondor and A high seat was built there (probably called The Seat of Hearing), that lay centuries in the past at the time of the
War of the Ring; by then, it had long since fallen under the influence of
Mordor.
Also called Hill of Hearing and perhaps Hill of the Ear in Westron.
