According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
Stone rubble and window and door frames, partly hidden by wild grass, are scattered across the village site. Many stone terraces are visible. The village cemetery, to the south, is covered with dirt and grass but many graves are visible; tombstones stand at the head and foot of each one. The spring of 'Ayn al-'Umur and the stone structure around it can still be seen
