These were prison cells for those who rebelled against the new regime, among whose inhabitants were Mayor Will Whitfoot, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins and Fredegar Bolger. Notes 1 We don't have exact dates for the Lockholes, but Lotho Sackville-Baggins took on the title of 'Chief Shirriff' after New Year III 3019, so the old storage tunnels would have first been used as prison cells early in that year. The Shire was freed from Lotho's master Sharkey (that is, Saruman) in early November of the same year, and the prisoners were released from the Lockholes immediately afterward. See also...
