The Current Name of this town is Annodrûn, but of old it was Annon Drúin, meaning "Cate of the Wild Men" for half a league of the eastern gate there stand two old ancient watch-stones of the Drúedain (That which nour allies the Rohirrim call "Púkelmen" ), now badly weathered and covered with stonecop,but still recognizeable as the handiwork of thee Wild Men. Like the watch-stones themselves the Name of the Towm has been worn down through the centuries until now all of it's inhabitants pronounce it als "Annodrûn", though the old form sometimes persists in writing -Findegil

The two towns were connected by a stone paved stretch of the Rathon Gondor (though most goods deposited at Annon Dúin were conveyed to the larger town by means of rivercraft).A fortress sixteen miles south of Annon Drúin protected the estuary and its east bank from Corsair raids. Annon Drúin was, infact, one of the oldest sites of Númenorean activity on Belfalas Bay ,having been established in the early Second Age by Aldarion the Mariner, who used the haven as an outpost in his unending search for ship-timber.Following the rebellion of Mûrazor and the dissolution of the Guild of Venturers (S.A.1880-1883), Annon Drúi became a permanent settlement for the faithful ,and subsequently grew in prominence during the reign of the Ship-kings, as the wool trade of the neighboring Pinnath Gelin necessitated a convenient harbor for seaborne commerce.By the same token, however, the fortunes of the town declined as the Third Age drew on, until it was little more than a fishing village.
