Where was Harosheth-hagoyim located?

Judges 4:2 (ESV)

2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.

Its location is uncertain, but it is presumed to be on the western end of the Jezreel Valley. Its name probably means “cultivated fields of the Gentiles.”
