Description
based on sketch by Alan LeeCirith Ungol [ˈkiriθ ˈuŋɡɔl] is Sindarin for Spider's (Shelob's) Cleft; it is the pass through the western mountains of Mordor and parallels the Morgul-Road into Gondor to some degree.
It was guarded by the Tower of Cirith Ungol, built by the Men of Gondor after the War of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men was fought. Another name for Cirith Ungol is Cirith Dúath. It is not known whether the pass and the tower were called Cirith Ungol when the Men of Gondor held it, though it is likely since Shelob "...was there before Sauron, and before the first stone of Barad-dûr" was laid.

When I first looked at this, I though it was completely abstract/surreal and unimpressive, and looked past it. Then I realized it really...scared me. So I decided to leave a comment.
I congratulate you for making this frightening! To me it appears to be a spider at the top of some stairs, but that may not matter.
