Tel Abel Beth Maacah, Arabic name: Tell Abil el-Qameḥ, is a large archaeological site consisting of a mound with a small upper northern section and a large lower southern one, connected by a saddle. It is located on the northern border of present-day Israel, about 2 km south of the town of Metulla and about 6.5 km west of Tel Dan.[1][2] Since at least the early 13th century CE[3] the mound was the location of the Arab village of Abil el-Qameh, also spelled al-Qamh etc., whose residents were forced to flee in 1948.
