According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"The site, overgrown with tall weeds, scrub, and other wild vegetation, contains a number of olive and carob trees. Truncated stone terraces, partially overgrown with cactuses, further mark the site."
