From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   En-rogel
      fountain of the treaders; i.e., "foot-fountain;" also called the
      "fullers' fountain," because fullers here trod the clothes in
      water. It has been identified with the "fountain of the virgin"
      (q.v.), the modern 'Ain Ummel-Daraj. Others identify it, with
      perhaps some probability, with the Bir Eyub, to the south of the
      Pool of Siloam, and below the junction of the valleys of Kidron
      and Hinnom. (See {FOUNTAIN}.)
     
         It was at this fountain that Jonathan and Ahimaaz lay hid
      after the flight of David (2 Sam. 17:17); and here also Adonijah
      held the feast when he aspired to the throne of his father (1
      Kings 1:9).
     
         The Bir Eyub, or "Joab's well," "is a singular work of ancient
      enterprise. The shaft sunk through the solid rock in the bed of
      the Kidron is 125 feet deep...The water is pure and entirely
      sweet, quite different from that of Siloam; which proves that
      there is no connection between them." Thomson's Land and the
      Book.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   En-rogel, the fuller's fountain; the well of searching
