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.

No, there were no Elves there. It was a long deserted harbour, from the days of the great Númenoreans, and it had nothing to do with Elves at all. Maybe Ghazi had mixed it up with Edhellond in Gondor, which was the harbour from where Elves (Nimrodel among others) were leaving before it eventually too became abandoned and forgotten.

I had it confused with Dol Amroth. In UT, it is mentioned that Celeborn and Galadriel moved there for awhile before returning to Lorinand. Where is Edhellond on the map? Is it another name for Dol Amroth.

According to the UT index, Edhellond was "the 'Elf-haven' in Belfalas near the confluence of the rivers Morthond and Ringló, north of Dol Amroth."
