According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The village has been destroyed, and the fenced-in area has been declared an archaeological site. Not one house from the village has been left intact, although parts of the walls of about twenty houses are still standing, and the outlines of windows and doorways in the masonry are visible. A maqam (shrine) also lies close by."

| Posted by Shahar Steiff on JULY-11-2006 A correction to the source of the name: Hawsha is built on the remains of, and named after, the Jewish town of Usha. Usha was one of the major Jewish towns in the region during the Mishna period (some 2,000 years ago). |
