megtorpan

Megtorpan is a fictional settlement appearing in the works of fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkien. It is described as a village or small town located in the Shire, a region inhabited by Hobbits. Megtorpan is situated in the Southfarthing, one of the four main regions of the Shire. Its precise location and significance within the Shire are not extensively detailed, but it is mentioned in contexts that suggest it is a typical, peaceful Hobbit community. The name itself, like many Hobbit place names, has a rustic and somewhat commonplace sound, reflecting the nature of Hobbit settlements. Further details about Megtorpan's history, population, or specific landmarks are generally not provided in Tolkien's published works, leaving it as a background element contributing to the overall depiction of the Shire. It serves to illustrate the widespread nature of Hobbit habitation across their homeland, with numerous small villages and hamlets dotting the landscape.
