I see Middle-earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

And this place, called the Fairy Glen, has a Barrow-Downs feel to it. For one thing, it has a lot of hills. For another, it has a lot of stones. Some small stones are placed in spirals by fairies when no one sees. But many stones of various shapes and sizes poke out here and there. Though none of them actually cap the peaks of the hills or are big enough to match the description, they create a similar feeling. They clearly are there at random, but their placement just looks not quite random enough, creating the feeling of allure and mistrust and the same time. Perfect for the Downs, no?
