Haudh-en-Elleth was the grave of Finduilas of Nargothrond that stood near the Crossings of Teiglin on the western borders of the Forest of Brethil.[1] Túrin would not allow Orcs to draw near to the mound, so they soon feared and avoided the place.[2] On one of his forays to battle Orcs near the Crossings, Túrin discovered Niënor his sister (whom he did not know) upon the mound, naked and cowering from a storm.[3] Later Túrin met Mablung at the mound and learned that Niënor was indeed his sister.[4]
