According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The rubble of the houses lies in piles that are covered with dirt, bushes, and thorns. The village cemetery (now covered with cactuses) and a well are visible at the bottom of a hill north of the site."
