From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Gederah
     the fortress; a fortified place, a town in the plain (shephelah)
     of Judah (Josh. 15:36). This is a very common Canaanite and
     Phoenician name. It is the feminine form of Geder (12:13); the
     plural form is Gederoth (15:41). This place has by some been
     identified with Jedireh, a ruin 9 miles from Lydda, toward


     Eleutheropolis, and 4 miles north of Sur'ah (Zorah), in the
     valley of Elah.
