According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
Many of the village buildings still stand; some have walls missing or are without roofs. Arched doorways and gates define the facades of these houses. A number of houses, however, are almost completely destroyed, with only the bases of their walls still standing. At an archaeological site that was recently excavated, a large stone gate and walls were unearthed. The remnants of the Crusader fortress are present on the site
