Linhir was a haven with a ferrybridge over the river Gilrain. It was located just downstream from the juncture of the river Gilrain and the river Serni on the western side of the river in Dor-en-Ernil in southern Gondor. Through it passed the road from Erech to Pelargir.
On 11 March T.A. 3019, Aragorn arrived with the Grey Company and the Army of the Dead at Linhir where men of Lamedon were defending the fords over the river Gilrain against men from Umbar and from Harad, which had sailed up the river. Except the stout-hearted Angbor, the Lord of Lamedon, both the defenders and the attacking forces fled in terror from the Army of the Dead. Aragorn asked Angbor to gather his troops and to help him to pursue the men from Umbar and from Harad over the river Gilrain to Pelargir where the main fleet from Umbar was anchored.
