A '''hillock''' or '''knoll''' is a small hill,<ref name="dic">[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hillock The Free Dictionary], "hillock" entry, retrieved December 18, 2007</ref> usually separated from a larger group of [[hill]]s such as a [[Mountain range|range]]. Hillocks are similar in their distribution and size to small [[mesa]]s or [[butte]]s. This particular formation occurs often in [[Great Britain]] and [[China]].{{clarify|date=April 2017}} A similar type of landform in the Scandinavian countries{{which?|date=October 2020}} goes by the name ”kulle” or ”bakke” (depending on the country) and is contrary to the above phenomena formed when [[glacier]]s polish down hard, crystalline bedrock of [[gneiss]] or [[granite]]s, leaving a rounded rocky hillock with sparse vegetation.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Gjessing|first1=L.|title=Norges landformer.|date=1978|publisher=Universitetsforlaget|location=Oslo|isbn=82-00-01772-9|page=207}}</ref><br />

One of the most famous knolls is the one near [[John F. Kennedy|John F. Kennedy's]] point of [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|assassination]], the [[grassy knoll]], in [[Dealey Plaza]] of downtown [[Dallas]], [[Texas]]. It is the source of many prominent [[John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories|conspiracy theories]] regarding the circumstances of his assassination.<br />

A "blind knoll" is either hidden or not readily apparent to those driving vehicles. There are road signs that warn of this, advising drivers to slow down.<br />
