According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The only landmark that remains is the mosque-a domed, stone structure, with arched doors and windows and decorative arches in the interior.The debris of houses, terraces, and the village cemetery can be seen amidst a thick forest of cypress trees that was planted on the village site and part of the land. Cactuses also grow on the site."
