Stock-brook

The Stock-brook or Stockbrook was a brook of the Shire's Eastfarthing, and a minor tributary of the River Brandywine. It rose in the forested hills above Woody End, and from there flowed north-eastwards out into the fields of the Marish. It passed through the southern end of the village of Stock, from which it took its name, before emptying into the Brandywine a few miles north of Bucklebury Ferry.

On 25 September Third Age 3018, Frodo, Pippin, and Sam crossed the Stock-brook on their journey to Farmer Maggot's house.

Etymology

David Salo suggested the name represents a possible "Old Hobbitish" Se Stocbroc.

As it gets its name from the village of Stock, its meaning is "the brook running through Stock".

Portrayal in adaptations

2007: The Lord of the Rings Online:

The Stockbrook drops in a waterfall after passing Woody End and flows south of Stock itself rather than directly through it.
