In briefanswer capsule

Rauros is the great falls of the Anduin. They are named together with the Gates of Argonath. North beyond the falls and those gates further defences still stood: older powers of which Men knew little. Against those powers the forces of evil would not yet advance, until Sauron, their dark lord, should appear again. In that survey the falls serve as a northern landmark along the river.
