Khirbat al-Shuna or Khirbat ash-Shuna was a Palestinian Arab hamlet in the Haifa Subdistrict. It was located 32.5 km south of Haifa. Khirbat al-Shuna contained a small archaeological site, Khirbat Tell Mubarak. The area is now known as Shuni and is part of a JNF park, immediately north of Binyamina-Giv'at Ada.
In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, it was called Shuneh, and had a population of 15 Muslim and 51 Jewish inhabitants,[1] while in the 1931 census it was counted as Esh Shuna under Zikhron Ya'akov, which had a total 214 Muslim inhabitants.[2]
In 1948, it was classified as a hamlet.[3] It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on March 15, 1948.
In 1992, the site was described: "The site is fenced in and the few standing houses have beenrenovated and turned into tourist facilities. There are tall palm and eucalyptus trees and cactuses grow around the houses".[4]
