Amon Ethir, also known as Spyhill, was an artificial hill in the plain of Talath Dirnen above the river Narog. Situated about a league (five kilometers) east of the Doors of Nargothrond, its clear summit was used by Finrod Felagund's spies to watch the surrounding lands.

In the years after the Sack of Nargothrond, Nienor encountered Glaurung the dragon here. He had blanketed the land with dragon-reek, leaving only the hilltop above the mists. Here, he cast Nienor into a deep spell of forgetfulness.

Etymology[]

Amon Ethir meant 'Hill of spies' in Sindarin.
