According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"Most of the houses have been destroyed; the rubble is covered with grasses and thorns. Just south of the center of the site stands a large, ruined mosque. Its crumbling pillars are still standing, and its arched entrances and windows still retain their distinctive shape. About 200 m southwest of the site are two deserted school buildings; a neglected shrine stands close to them to the south. "
