It's FIVE, reading backwards, yes, and it's a place (or perhaps one should say five places) ... but it's not the battle of the five armies, and it's nothing to do with Smaug (other than being in the same book and having happened on the way to visit him).
Clue: I could hear (in my imagination) a group called The Hobbitons (I have their CD) singing where the near-immolation took place, as I wrote the clue.
