From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Dalmanutha
     a place on the west of the Sea of Galilee, mentioned only in
     Mark 8:10. In the parallel passage it is said that Christ came
     "into the borders of Magdala" (Matt. 15:39). It is plain, then,
     that Dalmanutha was near Magdala, which was probably the Greek
     name of one of the many Migdols (i.e., watch-towers) on the


     western side of the lake of Gennesaret. It has been identified
     in the ruins of a village about a mile from Magdala, in the
     little open valley of 'Ain-el-Barideh, "the cold fountain,"
     called el-Mejdel, possibly the "Migdal-el" of Josh. 19:38.
