Min-Rimmon

Min-Rimmon was one of the seven beacon-hills of Gondor, on the northern flanks of the White Mountains. It was the highest peak in a group of crags known as the Rimmon. With Eilenach and Amon Dîn, Min-Rimmon was one of the oldest beacons, set in place even before the foundation of Rohan.[1][2]

[edit] Etymology

Min-Rimmon is Sindarin, meaning "Peak of the Rimmon" (min "peak").[2]
