Lore

On the face of this marker is a weathered engraving: 'This land is granted to Bardulf Gilmar and his line, now and forever, in recognition of his valiant deeds. Eärnur, son of Eärnil, Prince of Gondor, T.A. 1975.'

The remnant of a chronicle of the Battle of Fornost reads: 'If it was Eärnur -- then Prince of Gondor -- who granted this land to Bardulf Gilmar as you say, then it might have been for some deed during Eärnur's battle with Angmar at Fornost.' — (Editors note: Bardulf Gilmar is not mentioned in Tolkien's work.)
