Ford of Carrock

The Ford of Carrock was located near the Carrock itself, on the river Anduin between the Misty Mountains and the western borders of Mirkwood. 
It is mentioned only once by name, by Glóin when speaking to Frodo Baggins prior to the Council of Elrond in the year TA 3018, and was said to be kept free of Orcs by the Beornings under Grimbeorn the Old.The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Ch. I: "Many Meetings"
== Controversy ==
In The Hobbit, Thorin and Company cross a stony ford at the base of the Carrock, though the ford is given no name.The Hobbit, Chapter VII: "Queer Lodgings" No clarifying details are extant in the remainder of J.R.R. Tolkien's writings, and as a result, it is unknown if this ford and the Ford of Carrock were intended to be the same.
