Sauron's Girdle? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Girdle of Melian was a sort of 'force field' around the forest of Doriath in the First Age created by Melian. Only the friends and servants of Thingol were allowed to pass through. Melian and Sauron were both Maia. Could Sauron not have placed a similar field around Mordor? It wouldn't even have had to have been around the entire expanse, just in the areas of the Morannon and Cirith Ungol, the easiest ways of entry. It certainly would have stopped the Ring-Bearer. Any thoughts?
