Dol Baran

Dol Baran was round, crowned with heather with green lower slopes. It was located southwest of the southwestern end of Nan Curunir about a mile west of the road that ran from Isengard to the Fords of Isen.

After the visit to Isengard the party accompanying King Théoden camped in a dale on its southern side for the night on 5 March. It was here that Peregrin Took looked into the Palantír of Orthanc and later that a Nazgûl flew over on its way to see Saruman

Dol Baran is a Sindarin name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests that it means "Bare Hill". It is a compound of dol ("head", "hill") and paran ("naked", "bare", "smooth", "shaven") referring to its lack of trees.
