La Porte Noire

Dans HoMe VIII:

4. It seems in fact that my father did not immediately transfer the
name Morannon to the actual 'Black Gate' built by Sauron, but
retained it for a time as the name of the pass: so later in the
manuscript text (TT p. 247) Frodo 'stood gazing out towards the
dark cliffs of the Morannon' (changed subsequently to Kirith
Gorgor).

In the (first) manuscript the text as it stands in TT was achieved in
almost all points without much hesitation in the writing; but there was

much further shifting in the names that occur in this region. The
opening passage concerning the defences of Mordor and their history
differed in some respects from the form in TT (p. 244). The words
following 'But the strength of Gondor failed, and men slept': and for
long years the towers stood empty, are lacking.(1) The paragraph
beginning 'Across the mouth of the pass, from cliff to cliff, the Dark
Lord had built a rampart of stone. In it there was a single gate of iron,
and upon its battlement sentinels paced unceasingly' was first written
thus
