The location of Amon Lanc and Dol Guldur in Mirkwood
Amon Lanc, the Naked Hill, was a hill in the southern parts of Greenwood the Great.
After a millennium of his defeat had passed, Sauron came to Amon Lanc and built a stronghold there. The hill and fortress were then together called Dol Guldur, and the wood in which it stood became known as Mirkwood.[1]
In the Fourth Age, southern Mirkwood became known as East Lórien[2] and Amon Lanc obviously became part of it.
Etymology
Amon Lanc is a Sindarin name, consisting of amon ("hill") + lanc ("naked").[1]
