Laugdursh, the Dire Span
Laugdursh is a landmark within Thuringwath , in the Morgul Vale . [72.4S, 7.7E]
Long before Ufurok became a monument to the Gaunt-lords, it was a fortress erected in defence of Bâr Nírnaeth . It was Laugdursh, the Dire Span over which the Nazgûl and their most unfortunate victims travelled to the Houses of Lamentation. It fell into disuse once the Nazgûl adopted fell-beasts as their winged mounts in the Third Age of the world.
Laugdursh connects the fortress of Ufurok with the entrance to the Houses of Lamentation . More or less obsolete since the Ringwraiths took to the air, it is now cluttered by the trees that grow well below the bridge, though it is still passable.
