Tûr Haretha

The Tûr Haretha, called Haudh-en-Arwen in Sindarin, was the burial mound of Haleth, daughter of Haldad and Chieftain of the second House of the Edain. The Garth of the Graves was likely built around the Tûr Haretha.The History of Middle-earth, The War of the Jewels, "Part Three.

==History==
After the death of her father and brother in a battle against the Orcs, Haleth became Chieftain of her people, leading them to Estolad and to the Forest of Brethil, where they established themselves as vassals of Thingol, High King of the Sindar. When she died, her people raised a green mound for her in the heights of the forest, that became known as the Ladybarrow.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XVII: "Of the Coming of Men into the West"
==Etymology==
Tûr Haretha means "Ladybarrow" in the Halethian language. Its Sindarin name, Haudh-en-Arwen, has the same meaning.
