Fourth Age 80

Fourth Age 80 (abbreviated to Fo.A. 80 or F.O.) is the 80th year of the Sun of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth. Unless otherwise stated, Tolkien Gateway follows Shire usage in Appendix B for reckoning Fourth Age years: Fourth Age 80 was also known as S.R. 1501 in Shire-reckoning.

Notable events in this year include:

• Birth of Harding of the Hill, son of Holfast Gardner and great-grandson of Samwise Gamgee.
