Traveler Reports: “In the village itself was found an ancient vaulted building, now fallen in, 30 feet long, 20 feet wide, with a rectangular niche in the southern wall, evidently the remains of a mosque. The masonry is very rough. In its vicinity no spring of water. Some ancient olive trees grow in the neighborhood” (Schumacher 1890 [reprint 2010]). “Im Dorfe sieht man die Ruinen eines alten eingestürzten Gewölbebaues, 9 m lang und 6 m breit, mit einer viereckigen Nische im Süden, augenscheinlich die Reste einer Moschee; das Mauerwerk ist sehr grob” (Steuernagel 1927).
