History
In 1875 Victor Guérin visited the village and described it: "As for the village, it consists of about thirty houses fairly well built and surrounded by a perimeter wall. Some beautiful ashlars, remains of an ancient building, are noticed here and there. Its population is 150 Metualis. As I walk through it quickly, I observe a pool partly dug in the rock, two presses, also ancient and made in the rock, and a sarcophagus still equipped with its lid".In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described it as "A village built of stone, with a few mud houses, containing 100 Metawileh, situated on rising ground, surrounded by figs and arable land. There are no ruins of importance; a few cisterns. The water supply is from 'Ain Furawiyat".
