In 1875 Victor Guérin visited and found here 160 Metualis.^[2] He further noted: "Most of the houses show a mixture of old hewn stones and modern materials without character. Several tombs, cisterns, a great press, with two compartments, and a rock-cut tank point to a period of more or less antiquity.'^[3]
