In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine found at Khurbet es Samriyeh: "Ruined walls and traces of ruins alone remain. The place has, however, the appearance of an ancient site, and is well supplied with water."Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp02conduoft#page/123/mode/1up 123] Of Khurbet el Humra they noted: "A few walls standing and a ruined mill. No indications of antiquity exist",Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p.
