The Bridge of Stonebows, built by the kings of Arnor on the Great East Road, was the only bridge across the Brandywine and the eastern gateway to the Shire. When Frodo and company returned from the War of the Ring, they found it barricaded with spiked gates and guarded by Shirriffs under Saruman's control — their first sign the Shire had been taken over. The hobbits broke through the gates and sparked the liberation of the Shire.
