No, those are not what I had in mind. I wouldn't really count any of them as Battles, more skirmishes (or, in Smaug's case, a rampage).
So, there are still more ... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Battle of the Fields of Celebrant, then, since Celebrant is the name of the river. And if we've decided that Battle of the Gladden Fields was indeed a battle, then that's one too, for the Gladden River is certainly water.
It's all I can give you for now [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Sophia

Yup, both those are on my list. But the list is not yet complete ...

How about the Kinslaying at Alqualonde? "lond" means harbor?

Actually, that's not one of the ones that I had in mind, but it fits. Yet, the list still remains incomplete ...

Battle of the Havens of Sirion, where the Sons of Feanor attacked Tuor's people?
That's all I can find... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Sophia

OK, there is one more that I have in mind. It is named after a river ...

The Battle of the Lhun? (When Cirdan and Gil-galad held the forces of Sauron at bay, by the blood of their people... (Yeesh! I'm turning into Boromir)).

No.
Think of where a great force of Men came to the aid of Elves in a time of need.

The only one that I can think of is the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, where Hurin and Huor came to the aid of Turgon.

The Battle of Unnumbered Tears is on my list, but has been mentioned already. There was a clue in my last post. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

The Drowning of Numenor, though that ain't really a battle and might have been mentioned before... sorry, I had no time to look for it.

There must have been a battle at Gwathlo (Greyflood), as that's what Goth Law is confused [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

Yes, indeed the Battle of Gwathlo ensued when the fleets of Numenor arrived to break Sauron's hold over Eriador.
So, having got the last one on my list, I think that it must be your turn, Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Wow, Saucepans that was quite a question. I think I deserve the "Perseverance award" at the very least [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].
Will be right with you in the matter of the next question, as soon as I am able to think of one that will take a few minutes to answer. Don't bet on a month though.

Beren led a force of Laiquendi to defeat a band of the Dwarves of Nogrod on the banks of the River Ascar, the northernmost of the seven rivers of Ossiriand.
The Dwarves had sacked Doriath, the great Sindarin Kingdom of Beleriand, and the golden treasure of Thingol's Menegroth there was emptied into the river. The river was known thereafter as Goldenbed, or Rathlóriel in Elvish.

Turning north, his ranks reinforced by the defeated and fleeing northern allies, the Penultimate came upon the foe.
Surprised, the foe fell, driven to their watery deaths beside the Battle Plain. Never again did they dare to stand against the defenders of the Southern Kingdom. [ June 15, 2003: Message edited by: piosenniel ]

Was this when Sauron drove back the Last Alliance initially? When Malgalad and his forces perished in the Dead Marshes?

No, this was not The Battle of Dagorlad.
Though, the Dead Marshes were involved.

Major Hint: This is the battle which involved the Wainriders - 1944 TA.
Led by the penultimate (next to the last) King of Gondor (before the rule of the Stewards)
