The Mounds of Mundburg were collectively the burial place of those slain in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields from the armies of Gondor and Rohan. The mounds were located near to both the Anduin and to Minas Tirith, and were the subject of the Song of the Mounds of Mundburg, composed following the battle.[1]
One of these mounds was Snowmane's Howe, the grave of King Théoden's horse. The flower Simbelmynë grew thickly upon this and the other mounds.
Etymology[]
Mundburg was the Rohanese term for the city of Minas Tirith.[2]
