Carchost appears to have stood to the eastern side of the Morannon, though specific details of the arrangement of the Towers are hard to come by. The name Carchost contains two Sindarin elements: carch, meaning 'tooth, fang', and ost meaning 'fortress'. | Carchost appears to have stood to the eastern side of the Morannon, though specific details of the arrangement of the Towers are hard to come by.
