According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"Only a shrine, a fortress, an ancient well, and a few of the houses remain. One of the houses (the house belonging to al-Yahya) was built in 1882, according to an inscription. Many date palm trees and some cactus plants are spread about the site. The site has been turned into an Israeli recreational area with swimming facilities."
