Knoll

Furniture company name

A knoll is a small, rounded hill or mound, often formed by glacial deposits or erosion.

Unlike a hillock, which may be steeper, a knoll typically has a gentle slope and a dome-like shape.

The term is used in both geography and landscaping, where knolls are sometimes incorporated into garden designs for visual interest.

In historical contexts, knolls have been used as burial sites or lookout points.

The cottage sat atop a grassy knoll, overlooking the valley.
