Sarn Athrad was the stony ford of the River Gelion across which the Dwarf-road from the Blue Mountains entered East Beleriand.[1]
It was here that the Battle of Sarn Athrad took place between the Elves and Dwarves of Nogrod.[2]
Etymology
Sarn Athrad means "Ford of Stones" or "stony ford" in Sindarin (sarn + athrad).[3][4][5]
