Though the geography of this region is generally well established, we are not told exactly where the mound of Haudh-en-Elleth was situated and, indeed, the only specific comment we have regarding its location is that it stood close to the Crossings of Teiglin. A further clue comes from the fact that, when Niënor came to Brethil, she passed the Crossings before coming across the mound. We can deduce from this that Haudh-en-Elleth must have been made on the eastern side of Teiglin and relatively close to the Crossings, but it is not possible to place it any more exactly.
