Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The stone of Bohan - This stone perhaps commemorated some deed of valor belonging to the wars of Joshua (compare Sa1 7:12). The stone was erected on the slope of a hill (see the marginal reference), no doubt one of the range which hounds the Jordan valley on the west. But its exact site is wholly uncertain.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Beth-hogla - A place between Jericho and the Dead Sea, belonging to the tribe of Benjamin, Jos 18:21, though here serving as a frontier to the tribe of Judah. Stone of Bohan - This must have been some remarkable place, probably like the stone of Jacob, which afterwards became Bethel; but where it was situated is uncertain.
