The site is located on the western side of the Ayyalon Valley. Four excavation areas were opened, exposing meager architectural remains, mainly comprising wall foundations dated to the Late Ottoman period. Some of the finds were dated between the Byzantine period and the Middle Ages. Most of the pottery finds (studied by Miriam Avissar) date from the Late Ottoman period (nineteenth century CE). Apparently, the site was occupied from the Byzantine period until 1948.
