Tump means a hillock, mound, barrow or tumulus. The Welsh words Welsh: twmp and Welsh: Twmpath may be related. Although some may appear similar to glacial drumlins, for the most part they are man-made, e.g. remains from mineral extraction, burial mounds (tumuli and especially bowl barrows) or motte-and-bailey castle mounds.
