Would this help?
Don't go looking for a man. That's not the straight road......erm, clue.
 (For clarity's sake: Aman and the straight road are just jokes, not hints. But the answer is not a man.)

Still no luck?
Fortress is the straight clue. Fortress, fastness, stronghold, what have you. Before separates the two parts that the clue is made up of. When you solve them and put them together you'll get the answer. Aged man is not a reference to a specific person/character. Find a synonym for it.

Ok right well that helps.... I had got fortress of metal in my head as a straight clue which led me to think of Angband and Thangorodrim which didn't work at all.... so looking for a metallic anagram toonpresuambly with messed up...
Gondolin doesn't work that I can see save having gold in it.. seems I need to mug up my fortresses..

You're right, Gondolin doesn't work. But it's partially on the right track...

Dol Guldur? Gold anagram. The old man is an elder and if you sub in U (you 2nd person) for E (a note) you get uldur?
