According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
High piles of stone rubble, collapsed roofs, iron rafters, and parts of standing walls are visible on the site (see photo). A cave at the northern edge has a gate topped with a circular arch. A well with a metal cover can be seen next to a stone arch that stands alone; the rest of this structure is gone.
