large hill
Prominent terrain elevation
A large hill is an elevation of land bigger than a typical hill but not quite a mountain—the terrain between rolling countryside and true peaks.
The phrase often appears when speakers want to downplay a mountain or emphasize a hill's size: It's not really a mountain, just a large hill.
What counts as large varies by regional geography.
