Elves and Dunland

Lond Daer was relatively near Dunland, being almost due west of it, and northwest of the Isen, situated along the R. Gwathló. It was originally a Númenórean harbour, long deserted by the time of the War of the Ring. Though it was indeed within a reasonable striking distance from Dunland, I can't recall any mention of elves ever dwelling there.
