According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"Only one dilapidated building remains, a concrete structure with rectangular doors and windows and a flat roof. Its former function is not clear; it now serves as a farm storehouse. One can also identify the remnants of a watering trough."
