Amon Dîn, the silent hill, carries the first of the seven beacons of Gondor and is the one nearest Minas Tirith. A note published in Unfinished Tales calls it perhaps the oldest of them, originally a fortified outpost of the City that watched the crossings of the Anduin near Cair Andros and the way into North Ithilien; it is a bare and rocky height standing apart from the wooded hills of the Drúadan Forest. When the beacons were lit before the siege of Gondor, Gandalf named its fire first.
