According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
The hill on which the village was built is now fenced in and contains crumbled stone walls from the destroyed houses. In addition, there are two deserted, almost-intact stone houses with arched .doors and windows in Wadi al-'Amud. The surrounding lands have been converted into a wildlife sanctuary, the Nachal 'Amud Reserve, which is also used by Israelis for animal grazing and as a recreational area
