Norbury Gates is a landmark within the Fields of Fornost, in North Downs. ^{[8.8S, 55.2W]}

Proud these gates stand guard over the North-South Road running out of Fornost, once a royal high-road reaching far and wide the realms of Arnor. Now Orcs have set up camps by their foundations and wargs are prowling for the unaware. However, a distance inside the gates the determined warrior will find the Treasure Hunters' Camp, a bit westward.
