Talk:Hillock

Meaning of: "This particular formation occurs often in Great Britain and China"
The randomness of this wording could be interesting, but what exactly is the 'particular formation' which occurs in Great Britain and China? Is it a specific kind of hillock/knoll? or is it hillocks/knolls in general? - if so, it would be interesting to explain that in the whole of the world hillocks or knolls are (somehow) more often a specialist geographical feature to Britain and China then the rest of the world. Furthermore, since the article has a picture of Waterloo, maybe it could be mentioned that hillocks can be man-made. Also maybe some mention of hillforts, barrows and the etymology of -ock in the word: hillock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.151.233.233 (talk) 05:53, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Grassy Knoll
The so-called "grassy knoll" in Dealy Plaza is actually an embankment on one side of the road leading down to the railroad underpass. It is not noticeably elevated above the general lie of the land, and probably shouldn't have been called a "knoll", though the term has endured. 2603:6010:4E42:500:D8A2:2925:629C:C58B (talk) 20:09, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
