Bagshot Row was the row of hobbit-holes that were delved into Hobbiton Hill beneath Bag End. The Gamgee Family lived at Number 3, Bagshot Row.[1] Their neighbour was Daddy Twofoot, but it is not known whether he lived at Number 2 or Number 4.

In the War of the Ring, Bagshot Row had become a yawning sand and gravel pit. After the Battle of Bywater the destruction was replaced by a new row called, simply, New Row (in the town of Bywater it became a joke to refer to it as Sharkey's End). After the restoration the Gaffer Gamgee returned to Number 3, and his son Sam lived with him until Sam married Rose Cotton and relocated to Bag End.[2]

Etymology

It was so named because the earth removed in excavating Bag End was shot over the edge of the sudden fall in the hillside onto the ground. It was this part which later became the gardens and earthwalls of the other dwellings.[3]
