A very few locations survived as islands, however, and one of these was Tol Morwen, on which the memorial of the Stone of Hapless remained above the waves. This Stone lay near to Cabed Naeramarth, and so conceivably this part of the Ravines of Teiglin might also have survived as part of the island of Tol Morwen. See also...
