    I really must have a look at the book this evening. I'm sure that, while the fight was not actually on the summit of the hill, they go with Aragorn to a dell on the northern or western slopes of the hill (still on Amon Sûl). After the battle they come down the hill and cross the road, looking for a place of safety (is this the 6 hours?). In Rivendell, Gandalf says to Frodo "If only you had held out at Weathertop".

    Yeah, I also think that the assault was on the slopes of Weathertop, and the fact that they later refer to it (in some way or another) as the 'attack at Weathertop' strengthens it.

    I've read The Silmarillion, and I liked it a lot. The tales of the First Age are simply fantastic.
    I've also read The Book of Lost Tales I, The Hobbit (of course) and Farmer Giles of Ham...

    Yes, The silmarillion is a fantastic book, though the feeling of the book is much darker than the Lotr's. But I like this Tolkien work more than the Hobbit.
