The tomb of Benjamin, according to one of the traditions, is located in Israel ,on the road from Kefar-Sava to Kochav-Yair, west of Kalkilia. This location used to be located on the main road from North (Galilee, Syria and beyond) and south (Egypt). The next stop south was Jaljulia, the Gilgal of the Sharon.
The tomb is called by the Arabs "E Neby Yamin" Neby. On the north side of the tomb is an Arabic stone plate which praises the lord.
A nearby agriculture village, Neve Yamin, is called after the tomb.
The site was populated in the late Roman and Byzantine periods (2nd to 7th C AD). There are two wells, one can be seen near the tomb.
The Tomb, and some of the ruins around it, are from the Mameluke period (14th C AD). A hostel (Khan) nearby has the stone plate with the date of 1312.
