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.
