The knoll or hill gives its name to the cottage seen here, Knoll Lodge and to a residential road to the rear of the hill, Knoll Road. I have always wondered whether it is natural in origin (which I think it is) and was ever used as a motte by the Normans (being sited beside the main historic road to Brecon). I know of no evidence that it was.
