Well it's been a week. I made this one up while struggling to find a subject, so goodluck! 
A sunken foot,
A submerged knee.
A body straight,
Tall like tree.
No long arms,
No bushy leaves,
No thick bark,
No metal greaves.
Carrier of many faces,
No single visage of its own.
Here a spirit of water,
There one of stone.
The Villager set above,
The Raven perched below,
Between them both a bear.
Or some antlered beast or crow.

No idea so far, is it a general riddle or a Tolkien riddle?

Nope, not a castle. And to respond to Petty: it is a general riddle. I don't believe the answer ever appears in Tolkien's writing. (Not that I know of, anyway).

Well at least that narrows it down. From two categories of riddle I didn't know the answer too, to one category of riddle that I dont know the answer too!

what sleeping lies
beneath mortal flesh
but never dies
fire that burns cold
never grows old
what stabs without sword
without a word
what calls one home
forces one out alone
what cannot be bought
only sought
beneath mortal flesh
but never dies
fire that burns cold
never grows old

Oh wow. Oh my. I didn't even see those until you pointed them out Eldo. 
As for the riddle, is the answer.. love?
(I hope it is, it would be deliciously appropriate considering the spoiler up above).

I never meant for this phallic horror show! I didn't even see the Centaurs... equipment until Eldo pointed them out.

I'm just glad it's all in spoilers. Easier to avoid getting a second eyeful. As for the images already there, I suppose a blowtorch may help.

just a quickie while I am waiting.
what flies into the sky
yet crawls over ground
what burns and melts
yet is cold as stone
what vomits forth bile
yet has no stomach
