For the mountain in
New Hampshire, see
Mount Monadnock. For the Chicago skyscraper, see
Monadnock Building. A monadnock or inselberg is an isolated hill, knob, ridge, or small
mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding
plain. In southern and southern-central Africa, a similar formation of granite is known as a
kopje from the
Afrikaans word: koppie. In fact the word koppie is itself frequently employed in written South African English.
