Andram (S. 'long wall'; and = long, ram = wall) was the long wall of hills that ran across Beleriand west to east, from Nargothrond to the Gates of Sirion and ending to Ramdal. Its easternmost hill was Amon Ereb, which usually was not considered a part of Andram. The Gates of Sirion was the cavernous mouth in the southern hills of the Andram where the River Sirion emerged from its underground course. Falls of Sirion was the mighty thundering falls of the River Sirion, where its waters fell beneath the earth and flowed under the hills of the Andram for nine miles before emerging again.
