According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"Piles of rubble are spread over a wide area on the hill. The remains of walls can be seen, with thick wild grass growing among them. The ruins of a large house are on the eastern side of the site, surounded by a dilapidated wall. Two wells, carved in the rock, are still used by Palestinians who have remained in the area."
