The ruins of a great Crusaders' church at Beit Nuba were visited by Clermont-Ganneau ca. 1873-1874. Enlart (1925-1928) refers to Clermont-Ganneau's report published in 1899, which included a holy-water stoup of hemispherical shape, decorated with five "créquiers qui y dessinent comme des imbrications".
