Originally the Hobbits' preferred style of dwelling, holes burrowed into hillsides, downs and banks. By the late Third Age, these had largely been replaced by buildings of wood or brick, but Hobbit-holes were still in use by the more established Hobbit families of the Shire (for example, at Bag End and Great Smials).
Notes
1 |
III 1050 is the year in which Hobbits first appeared in the records of Men, but Hobbits themselves clearly dated back further than this, and Hobbit-holes seem to have themselves dated back into ancient Hobbit history.
