Good question! I suppose this was one of those battles that Tolkien left mostly to the imagination. Its mostly an offhand reference to how Dain the Mighty fell in valiant battle doing what he did best: slaying orcs! keep watching the "Battles of the Late third age" thread. Im sure this battle will come up sometime.
