According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"A few some what dilapidated houses remain, some inhabited by Jews, others deserted. One inhabited house is a two-storey structure that looks like a conglomeration of unrelated rooms of varying size and shape."
