Underharrow was a hamlet on the banks of the Snowbourn river beneath the cliff of Dunharrow[1] in the valley of Harrowdale in Rohan. Located south of Edoras, it was a mile upriver from the hamlet Upbourn.[1] As the great host of the Rohirrim passed through the town during the War of the Ring, many women were standing sadly outside their homes. They knew that many of their husbands, fathers, and sons would never return from the battle that was soon at hand.[2]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The name means "under-fane" and refers to the hamlet being in the valley below the Dunharrow.[3]
