The Northern Barrow-downs are an area within Bree-land in the southern region.

Through these fog drenched hills is the gloomy and hostile environment that Frodo and his fellowship struggled through not long ago. On September 26, III 3018, they set out from Tom Bombadil's House aiming at the eastern side of the barrows and Bree beyond. Exhausted and moody they sat down for a rest by the Dead Spire, which could have been an eternal rest unless Tom had reacted on a cry for help.

The northern section of Barrow-downs contains a handful of accessible tombs, each filled with various vile-creatures and treasures. Entrance to the area can be found via the Northern Barrows Pass or via the Old Barrows Road. To the south, beyond a ridge, are the even more harrowing Southern Barrow-downs.

There are provisioners and a few quest givers both at the Old Barrows Road and at the Dead Man's Perch to the east; members of an expedition out of Bree whom encountered more trouble than they bargained for. Many of the tombs contains artefacts for the most lionhearted of scholars.
