From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Beth-haccerem
     house of a vineyard, a place in the tribe of Judah (Neh. 3:14)
     where the Benjamites were to set up a beacon when they heard the
     trumpet against the invading army of the Babylonians (Jer. 6:1).
     It is probable that this place is the modern 'Ain Karim, or
     "well of the vineyards," near which there is a ridge on which


     are cairns which may have served as beacons of old, one of which
     is 40 feet high and 130 in diameter.
