Kit Hill (Cornish: Bre Skowl),[1] at 334 metres high, dominates the area between Callington and the River Tamar in southeast Cornwall, England, UK.
It is one of five Marilyn hills in Cornwall, the four others are Watch Croft, Brown Willy, Carnmenellis and Hensbarrow Beacon.
The hill was formed in the same way as nearby Bodmin Moor by the intrusion of magma into overlying sedimentary rocks.
Kit Hill Country Park has a high wildlife population including deer and badgers, rabbits, rare moths and butterflies.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reports that in 835 (corrected by scholars to 838 AD) Egbert king of the West Saxons defeated an army of Vikings and Cornish at Hengestdun = "Stallion Hill", which is usually interpreted as being at Hingston Down.
Some remnants, mainly the granite blocks, of the line can be found on the northern slopes of the Country Park site.
