English: The cold store was used by the farmers of the village to store the potatoes they grew. The capacity was: 80 tons. Later, the cold house was rented for the use of the neighborhood kibbutzim for a fee. During the War of Liberation, the place was used to store weapons. The cooling house is supposed to go through a conservation process and contain the settlement's archive.

עברית: בית הקירור שימש את איכרי הכפר לאיחסון תפוחי אדמה שגידלו. הקיבולת היתה: 80 טון. בהמשך הושכר בית הקירור לשימושם של קיבוצי הסביבה תמורת תשלום. בימי מלחמת השחרור שימוש המקום לאיחסון נשק. בית הקירור אמור לעבור תהליך שימור ולהכיל בתוכו את ארכיון הישוב.

From ISBE: (qen; neossia, nossia; in the New Testament kataskenosis; Latin nidus): A receptacle prepared by a bird for receiving its eggs and young. Nests differ with species. Eagles use a large heap of coarse sticks and twigs on the cleft of a mountain (Job 39:27-Amos :; (Jeremiah 49:16; (Obadiah 1:4); hawks prefer trees; vultures, hollow trees or the earth; ravens, big trees; doves and pigeons, trees or rocky crevices (Jeremiah 48:28); hoopoes, hollow trees; swallows, mud nests under a roof, on cliffs or deserted temples; owls, hollow trees, dark places in ruins or sand burrows (on the qippoz of Isaiah 34:15 see OWL); cranes, storks and herons, either trees (Psalms 104:17) or rushes beside water (storks often choose housetops, as well).
