112 Small knoll
A small obvious mound or rocky knoll which cannot be drawn to scale with a contour (diameter of mound less than ca. 5 m). The height of the knoll should be a minimum of 1m from the surrounding ground. The symbol may not touch a contour line.
Colour: brown.
Dot diameter 0.5mm
A small obvious mound or rocky knoll which cannot be drawn to scale with a contour (diameter of mound less than ca. 5 m). Knolls of any other shape than round should be shown by contours. The height of the knoll should be a minimum of 1 m from the surrounding ground.
Defined as point symbol 112.0. A point symbol can be drawn with any tool.
Beware of using too many dot knolls which draw the eye from the shape of the land. The small knoll is also used for a rocky knoll.
This symbol should not be used as a summit marker, unless there is a coincident knoll (although this is more likely to be a cairn). Use the spot height if you need to show the hill top.
KNOLL A high point, shown on the map as a brown dot.
