From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Ephes-dammim
     boundary of blood, a place in the tribe of Judah where the
     Philistines encamped when David fought with Goliath (1 Sam.
     17:1). It was probably so called as having been the scene of
     frequent sanguinary conflicts between Israel and the
     Philistines. It is called Pas-dammim (1 Chr. 11:13). It has been


     identified with the modern Beit Fased, i.e., "house of
     bleeding", near Shochoh (q.v.).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
