Derndingle

The place of Entmoot

Map of Derndingle
Derndingle within Fangorn Forest (somewhat conjectural)1
Derndingle within Fangorn Forest (somewhat conjectural)1

A hollow in the south of Fangorn Forest, used by the Ents from time immemorial as the place where they met in Entmoot. In shape it was a wide round depression, surrounded by a dark green hedge of evergreen trees. The hollow itself was clear of trees, except for three tall silver birches that grew in its centre. The name Derndingle is Mannish in origin, from the Old English for 'hidden hollow' - the Ents' own name for their meeting-place was never recorded.


Notes

1

There are several places within Fangorn Forest that are not shown on any map, and Derndingle is among them. The location for the dell shown here (as well as those of Treebeard's Hill and Wellinghall) are based solely on textual references. Following those references, Derndingle must have been relatively close to the location marked, but the position shown is necessarily approximate.
