Visited for the EES Survey in 2005: the site lies beside the main Alexandria - Cairo road on its northern side. A short dirt track leads to it from the road and to the south lies the main railway line. It is marked on the Survey of Egypt map as lying either side of the main road, but the southern side is not apparent. The small hill is covered in a cemetery with the tomb of Sheikh Yusef at the top, recently restored with concrete. East of the site is a small area of waste land with sherds and brick fragments on the surface and in the sides of a ditch. Egypt Exploration Society Delta Survey no. 647.
