is it Isengard?

two (two hobbits)
barrier (fortress)
two greetings heard- wogh=tree eard+b=treebeard

merry and pippin welcomed the others
Treebeard took Isengard Down
and Isendgard was a fortress which is in close relation to the word barrier

The real answer's much simpler than that.

Not sure about this one, but "Hi" and "Hey" are two greetings. Put together, they sound like (are heard as) "High Hay", the hedge around the eastern border of Buckland.

So I'll say High Hay.

Any good?

Which is just good enough to make you the next up.
