"Immediately north of the village is a rock-cut passage large enough to walk along, extending about 50 feet and lined with cement; it then becomes about a foot high.

The village had a population of 16 households, all [[Muslim]]. The villagers  paid a fixed tax rate of 25%  on  wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, in addition to occasional revenues and a press for olive oil or grape syrup; a total of 3,600  [[akçe]].<ref>Hütteroth and  Abdulfattah, 1977,  p. 159</ref> [[Potsherds]] from the Ottoman era have also been found here.<ref name=Zertal/>

It has the appearance of an ancient site, having rock-cut tombs, and a curious channel for water."<ref>Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p.
