Harlond was the port and docks of the city of Minas Tirith, used by river traffic from the southern regions of Gondor. It lay to the south of the city, where its fortifications ran alongside the great outlying wall of the Rammas Echor.[1]

On 15 March T.A. 3019[2] Aragorn and his followers in the fleet from the south landed at Harlond and swept north into the Battle of Pelennor Fields.[3]
