Tammerglade Woods

While the threat of Tarma domination of the Shire dwindled after the 17th century of the Third Age, the animosity between the Tarma peasants and the Shire-folk continued unabated.The fall of Arthedain in T.A. 1974 saw the Tarma lands devastated, but enough survivors remained to form a few desolate  settlements.Aranarth, the heir to the throne of Arthedain, offered little to these people, most of whom had scant Dúnadan blood. His new order of the Rangers of the North protected the shepherds of the "Tarmaglades" but did not rule them.Their bigotries remained; the alliance with the Northfarthing  Hobbits that might had saved their colony failed to materialize.Instead, they dwindled away into poverty and banditry, accomplishing nothing except  the solidifying of the Shire frontier along the North Moors. While the threat of brigandage from the Tarmaglade Wood eventually disappeared, the Hobbits developed the habit of using the land beyond the northern bounds solely as a hunting and wood-cutting preserve.After the refounding of Arnor, these  relatively fertile land  were the subject of a dispute between aspiring colonists from the Carras and other would-be empire builders from Long Cleeve.
