You mean Dimrill Dale?

Well, practically there really never was any "battle of Isengard". Ents just came and destroyed whatever they found, while some remaining Orcs or Dunlendings were running away screaming or drowning, and Saruman also ran away. The only thing they fought against was at one point the liquid fire of Orthanc. Not sure if it qualifies as a "proper" battle.

And for the Last Alliance, that's an interesting question - probably, at least on first sight, not (maybe it even says somewhere that there were just "Elves, Men and Dwarves" - at least I recall somewhere it's enumerated how Dwarves fought on both sides, but just very few of them. Hence, who knows. Also, the Hobbits didn't play any important role until 3rd Age. On the other hand, they could have been omitted from the records, as Merry and Pippin pointed out to Treebeard. Okay, enough rant ).
