Breast-shaped hill

Some such hills are named "pap", an archaic word for the breast or nipple of a woman, particularly those with a small hilltop protuberance.

[1] Such anthropomorphic geographic features are found in different parts of the world, and in some traditional cultures, they were once revered as the attributes of the Mother Goddess, such as the Paps of Anu, named after Anu, an important female deity of pre-Christian Ireland.

Breast-shaped hills are often connected with local ancestral veneration of the breast as a symbol of fertility and well-being.

[10] Fort Mamelon was a famous hillock fortified by the Russians and captured by the French as part of the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War of the 1850s.

The term was coined by the French explorer and naturalist Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent.
