Breast-shaped hill

A breast-shaped hill in Western Sahara
There is an ancient Iberian archaeological site beneath the Mola Murada, a breast-shaped hill in the Moles de Xert, Spain.

A breast-shaped hill is a hill in the shape of a breast. Some such hills are named "Pap", an archaic word for the breast or nipple of a woman. Such anthropomorphic geographic features are found in different places of the world and in some cultures they were 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.[1]
