Settlements are Towns, Cities and Strongholds. Fortifications such as Osgiliath and the Fords of Isen are not settlements: they only help a defending army. Towns give a place to recruit but no victory points or defensive bonus. Strongholds (worth 2 points) have a larger square on the map symbol, Cities (1 point) a smaller one.
