I've found a reference from History of Middle-Earth regarding the Turin story:
"...the poem as in the Tale that the farmlands and orchards of Nargothrond were deserted lest the travellers should find the entrance to the caves..."
So there were "orchards of Nargothrond" before it has been closed off.
So Haerangil - here is the thread - what does belong inside?
And where exactly are those orchards located? Around Ringwil?
"As Turin and Flinding came south down the west bank of Narog the river hastened o'er the feet of the hills (1770), and the fields and orchards through which they passed ever narrowing twixt wall and water did wane at last to blossomy banks by the borders of the way (1812 -- 14) [...]Here the travellers crossed the foaming Ingwil, falling down from the hills, by a slender bridge; this is the first appearance of this stream (cf. The Silmarillion p. 122: 'the short and foaming stream Ringwil tumbled headlong into Narog from the High Faroth'), and the bridge over it is mentioned nowhere else. "
This would suggest the area on the west bank of Narog North of Ringwil?
