Beit Einun

] The site became populated during Byzantine rule of Palestine. [http://198.62.75.1/www1/ofm/sbf/Books/LA47/47339IM.pdf Khirbet Abu Rish (Beit 'Anun)] Magen - Y. Baruch] Three churches were built near the center of the town sometime between the 5th and 6th centuries. The wall construction indicates rebuilding of the church in the Crusader period. Excavations have revealed a mosaic floor in the main hall of the church from the Byzantine period. It's a part of a complex building in which living quarters and storage rooms, as well as water cisterns were found. Other remains from this time period include two water cisterns, two wine-presses and several tombs.

Beit 'Einun is mentioned in the Waqf dedication given by Muhammad to Tamim al-Dari. Many Muslim stone structures are located in the village.
