From DannyTheDigger:

Today, there are almost no visible remains of biblical Bethel in Baytin. However, some exciting finds are at the summit of Mount Artas, 1 mile north of Baytin. Facing north is a big stone platform framed by a stone wall, forming a rectangular shape. By local tradition, Jeroboam’s temple stood here. Next to it, the Muslims erected a shrine (Maqam Sheikh Abdallah) over a chapel from the Crusaders’ times. According to local tradition, the chapel marks the site of Jacob’s dream. The site also provides one of the best panoramic views in Israel. The coastline, the Jordan Valley, the mountains of Moab, and even Mount Hermon are visible from here.
