English term or phrase: "Deaf knowe"

A mound which can be seen from the grounds of the distillery, reputedly depicts where Queen Helen was buried and is known locally within the village as "deaf knowe" due to the fact that if someone shouts from one side of the hill they cannot be heard on the other side.
