Nothing precise and nothing at all aren't as close as we may think.

Also, if all the Ring-dinners took parts somewhere in Withered Heath, and were somewhat alike the Lonely Mountain incident, and, in contrary to the Lonely Mountain incident, no one survived or escaped, even the Dwarves themselves could have had trouble in reconstructing the incident.

We did read about the Dwarves taking on the Dragon in the Dagor Bragollach, and they weren't fighting for a Ring there. Sure, maybe it was the elves that reported that event, but couldn't some elf, eagle, raven, thrush or other being have reported the fall of a Dwarven Lord under the foot of a Worm?
You'd think that someone would have survived, and, of course, that has me thinking of any event in ME history where there were no survivors ("If a hero falls alone in a forest..."). Thorin never lets Smaug have a pass, though no lord or Ring was lost in the Erebor incident.
Methinks that given a few hundreds years, Tolkien would have filled these tales in as well - and Peter Jackson could have filmed them. Thanks for your thoughts.
