Man of the Barrow-culture.
The Barrow-culture were a group of Eriadorian tribes of the Second Age. They were descendants of the Beregrim and indigenous men akin to the House of Beor. They had been called Barrow-culture because of their remains, barrows and stone circles of ancient times which had outlasted their demise. The Forodrim and Rivermen as well as the Bree-landers had often been suspected to be their descendants.
