According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The village has been destroyed and the surrounding land has been planted in wheat by the Israeli colony of Mechola (see photo). The rubble of structures from Shaykh al-Fatur is overgrown with thorns and doum palm trees. The spring of al-Fatur lies immediately to the north of the rubble."
