If I recall correctly, weren't the towers also mentioned near the beginning of Fellowship? In fact, I believe that they may have been within sight of the Shire (able to be seen from the top of the Hill?). Again, I definitely need to go back and look, but I do seem to recall that the Hobbits regarded them with a certain degree of trepidation, as if, perhaps, they were haunted...?
