Late in the Third-age, when Gandalf realised that Bilbo's ring was in fact the One Ring, and that Sauron's servants were searching Middle-earth in its pursuit, he arranged that the Rangers of the North should keep a watch on the Shire. One such ranger was posted on the Brandywine river, south of the Shire in order to track any suspicious northbound travelers. He took up his watch at Sarn ford.
