Were there Ents in areas not covered by LOTR? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

One place that nobody seems to have mentioned is Mirkwood. Gandalf calls it "the greatest of the forests of the northern world" and it is indeed a very ancient forest, almost untouched by much of ME history. Bilbo noted that there were several strange noises he could never identify. Those could perhaps be the sounds of the trees/Ents/Huorns/whatever shifting about. Now that makes me think that there are a couple Ents living there, but probably only in the northern part (not that close to Dol Guldur)
