According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"One concrete, flat-roofed house still stands in the middle of a peach orchard. Its front facade has two rectangular windows and a rectangular entrance in the middle. The debris of houses among tall grasses and weeds is visible. "
