According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"A forest covers much of the village site. The rubble of crumbled houses and terraces lies among the trees, and cactuses and fig, mulberry, and eucalyptus trees grow there as well. The only remaining landmark is the school, on the west side of the site."
