From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Allon-bachuth
     oak of weeping, a tree near Bethel, at the spot where Deborah,
     Rebekah's nurse, was buried (Gen. 35:8). Large trees, from their
     rarity in the plains of Palestine, were frequently designated as
     landmarks. This particular tree was probably the same as the
     "palm tree of Deborah" (Judg. 4:5).
