The North Undeep and the South Undeep were two great westward valleys of the Anduin, located between the Brown Lands and the Wold of Rohan, east of Fangorn Forest. They were strategic points giving rare easy crossing of the wide Great River, and were used by the Balchoth, and by Eorl and his men coming southward, directly before the Battle of the Field of Celebrant.[citation needed]
Forts had been built in the Undeeps to protect Calenardhon during the time of Gondor's King Rómendacil II; however, these were neglected in the following centuries and had to be repaired by Steward Cirion. These were overwhelmed when the Balchoth attacked, in TA 2510.
