By the late Third Age, a road passed from the Pelennor Fields to Tumladen, Lossarnach, and the mountain-villages before ending at Lebennin. During the Great War of the Ring, this road was utilized for the evacuation of the civilians of Minas Tirith in TA 3019 when fleeing the impending attack of Sauron.The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Five, Ch.
