Three-Farthing Stone

Landmark stone marking the meeting point of the three Farthings of the Shire.

The Three-Farthing Stone stands as a timeless landmark in the Shire, precisely marking the tripoint where the Farthings of the Westfarthing, Southfarthing, and Northfarthing converge. Introduced in The Return of the King, it serves as a pivotal rendezvous during the Scouring of the Shire, where hobbits from different farthings unite against Saruman's ruffians. Though static as a location, its role underscores the Shire's communal resilience amid invasion, evolving from mere boundary marker to symbol of hobbit solidarity in the series' climactic restoration.
