Do I understand your argument correctly, that the city is a hyperbole/metaphorization of Assyrian withdrawal from Ramat Rahel? If so, couldn't the entire image merely be a metaphor and not describing a particular location? That wouldn't necessarily argue against setting it in the time frame that you do. In any case, look forward to reading the book.
