The Sea-ward Tower is conceived to have been constructed as a refuge for the Elves of Edhellond by the Sinda lord Amroth, between 1600 and 1620 of the Second Age. Tirith Aear is further said to have been used by Galadriel, who installed "a huge bronze bell in its highest chamber in T.A. 1". A full layout of the tower is provided.[3]
