I am quite sure that Rivendell was never under siege during the War of the Ring. If Lothlorien had fallen, then Rivendell probably would have been next, and if Saruman had won at Helm's Deep he might have gone after Rivendell, but Rivendell wasn't under siege. The Tale of the Years in the appendices is pretty complete and there is nothing about a siege in Rivendell. I'm having a bad time finding quotes right now or else I might post some. There is another quote I am thinking of that says if Sauron had gotten the Ring back then Rivendell would have for a while been under siege but after a short time it would fall.
