Weathertop, known as Amon Sûl in Sindarin, is where the Nazgûl attack Aragorn and the four Hobbits, and Frodo is stabbed in the shoulder by a Morgul-knife. Weathertop is the southern most peak of the Weather Hills, and sits at the intersection of the realms of Arthedain, Cardolan, and Rhudaur.
"On the flat under-side Frodo saw some scratches: 'There seems to be a stroke, a dot, and three more strokes,' he said.

'The stroke on the left might be a G-rune with thin branches,' said Strider. 'It might be a sign left by Gandalf, though one cannot be sure. The scratches are fine, and they certainly look fresh."
