Echoriath
From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.
The Echoriath or Encircling Mountains was a range of mountains in the north of the Beleriand.
The Echoriath formed a natural circle of rock, enclosing the valley later called Tumladen, within which lay the elven city of Gondolin. A hidden ravine provided the only access through the Echoriath — a way guarded by seven gates.
Fingolfin, a High King of the Ñoldor, was buried in the Echoriath north of Gondolin, having been taken there by the eagle Thorondor after he was slain in his duel with Morgoth.
