In briefanswer capsule

Barad Eithel is a Noldorin fortress at Eithel Sirion. In the Fifth Battle Fingon’s front ran from its walls to the Rivil’s inflow at the Fen of Serech. Heralds of Angband approached the outer works under parley flags, displaying the blinded Gelmir son of Guilin, a Nargothrond lord taken in the Bragollach, and put him to death before the Elves. Gwindor, Gelmir’s brother, held that stretch of the outworks and spurred out after them.
