Min-Rimmon, also spelled Minrimmon,[1] was the fifth of the seven Beacon-hills of Gondor and was the highest "peak of the Rimmon (a group of crags)"[2] between Erelas and Calenhad.
History[]
Like most of the other Beacon-hills of Gondor, it was located in the White Mountains overlooking the province of Anórien. Before the onset of the Siege of Gondor, the beacon upon Min-Rimmon was the fifth to be lit to signal Rohan for aid.[3]
Etymology[]
Min-Rimmon is a combination of the Sindarin word min ("peak")[2] and rimmon, a word of unknown meaning in a Pre-Númenórean language.[4]
