Annethir (S. "Gate of Spies") was a Township of Girithlin in Minhiriath, Arnor (Cardolan). It lay in the central highlands about forty miles east from Rast Vorn and 25-30 miles due south of Minas Girithlin. The town had a quite large population of 3,100 in TA 250. However its population declined after the mid-Third Age and the settlement was eventually abandoned by TA 1640.
Notes[]
- Original form: Annithir = Annethir
- In the 2017 version of his article Population and Urbanisation in Eriador, Thomas Morwinsky reassigns the name "Annithir" to the location identified in MERP as Fogu Maellin while not assigning a new name to Annithir's original location. (published in Other Minds Magazine Issue 13 (.PDF))
