Exactly.
There's a very good reason why you can't get Helm's Deep to work for 9: it's not the solution. I can tell a setter from a collie, even when it's barking up the wrong tree.
1.
CIRION - Just over a century before rise of moody cinema, this character was known to be good
2.
AGLAROND - Silver youth admits little Tolkien to dwarf tourist attraction
3.
L Ancestor lost everything on doubles at first
4.
EOMER - King was simply nothing when confused
5.
NORTH UNDEEP - River's southern profundity? Quite the reverse!
6.
ALDOR - Provincial dormer through which one might glimpse the king
7.
RIDDERMARK - Wear on saddle perhaps swallows large sum in equestrian parts.
8.
D Captain has man downstairs in a flap.
9.
H Setter doubly English about tree behind falling note in place for a good hiding
10.
O Ash or alder holding genius by another name.
11.
N Route descending from one point to another.
