The Trolls ate 1 1/2 Villages?

In the Hobbit it mentions that since the 3 Trolls came down from the mountains they
( or at least one) had eaten one and half villages. ( worth of people?) Where did the victims come from? He mentions man-flesh. So, are they're villages near by? Or just travelers? If travelers who could they be?

She was kown as dernhelm because of her exclaimation when she realized that the rider's headgear was heavy and obscured her sight.
