  River Sirion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sirion's source was at Eithel Sirion on the eastern side of the Ered Wethrin, which lay in between Ard-galen (later Anfauglith) and Mithrim and Hithlum.
Sirion flowed southwards along the border of the Ered Wethrin, passing through the Fen of Serech before entering the narrow steep-sided valley between the Ered Wethrin and the Echoriath named the Pass of Sirion.
Barad Eithel, at the source of the Sirion in the Ered Wethrin, was a chief fortress of Fingolfin and his son Fingon, probably guarding a pass into their realm of Mithrim.

 LotR Fanatics Library: Eärendil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Becoming friends with Círdan, Eärendil had built his mighty mighty ship: Vingilot, which means "The Foam Flower." In Vingilot Eärendil sought his mother and father, but in vain, for the passages to the western shores were not passable because of the Enchanted Isles and the Shadowy Seas.
This was the Silmaril which was worn by both Beren and Lúthien, and it was also the reason that their son Dior was slain.
So, when the sons of Fëanor demanded that Elwing give to them the Silmaril and Elwing refused, the sons attacked and destroyed the havens at the mouths of Sirion.
