Amon Dîn

‘What is that?’ cried Pippin suddenly, clutching at Gandalf’s cloak. ‘Look! Fire, red fire! Are there dragons in this land? Look, there is another!’
The beacons of Gondor are alight, calling for aid. War is kindled. See, there is the fire on Amon Dîn, and flame on Eilenach; and there they go speeding west: Nardol, Erelas, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad, and the Halifirien on the borders of Rohan.
-The Return of the King (Book Five), Chapter 1

Amon Dîn was the first Beacon-hill west of Minas Tirith. Amon Dîn was originally used as an outpost, keeping watch over the passage of North Ithilien and Dagorlad. It also served as a lookout for enemies attempting to cross the Anduin near Cair Andros.
