Monticule: petit mont, parfois aussi grand que la colline, parfois assez peu important et même artificiel.

OBS

Le terme "colline" ne semble pas approprié, car la source ROBER 1985 (vol. 2, p. 707) précise que "Les géographes considèrent que la limite entre colline et montagne correspond à une hauteur moyenne de 500 m".
