The Haudh in Gwanûr are a small row of Hills on the north bank of Athrad Poros.In the second Age it was a burial place of the men of Twilight who built extensice catacombs below the Hills to house hundreds of mouldering corpses, most notably the remains of Lord Bel'zordin, a Prince who was slain in the second Age before the Númenoreans came to the coasts to found colonies.It was reopened in T.A. 1050 to set the remains of the dead of a battle between Gondor and Harad to rest.In T.A. 2885 the Gondorians raised a barrow upon the half-forgotten older mounds to covered the remains of the brothers Fastred and Folcred of Rohan, the sons of King Folcwine of Rohan and renamed the Barrow Haudh in Gwanûr(S. ’The Mound of the twins’).
