Onodrith (S. "Ent-?"), in later times known as Entrift or Stowburg, was a station for most of the river traffic to Gondor's northern and western provinces. It also held much of the grain kept in reserve by the King of Gondor or later Rohan, in great warehouses along the river. The ferry here handled much traffic, but the high tolls caused many travellers to seek the Iach Onodlo some 20 miles upstream.
