The village, located on the top of a round hill on the northeastern slope of Mount Carmel, faced the Marj ibn Amir plain in the east and north. The mound of Tall Qamun was about 1 km to the southeast. Khirbat al-Mansura was classified as a hamlet in the Palestine Index Gazetteer. The villagers were predominantly Druze. Although it has not been possible to identify Khirbat al-Mansura with any known historical site its antiquity was evident from the ruins of building foundations and rock-cut tombs in and around the site.
