The Fist of the First Men is an ancient ringfort built by the First Men in the Dawn Age.[1] It is located next to the Milkwater.[2] It is where the Night's Watch fought the Battle of the Fist of the First Men.
The Fist is a hill that rises above the Forest around it. The hill offers commanding views with the slopes at a dangerous angle to the north and west and only slightly less dangerous to east. Its windswept crown is visible for miles. There is a ringwall of chest-high grey stone that crowns the top of the steep, stony hill. At the foot of the hill there is brook.[1][2]
