The Billycock Hill is a rounded, icy and 1630 m high hill on the Fallières coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It protrudes 180 m above the surrounding ice plateau and is located immediately north of the head end of the Neny Glacier .
It was first mapped by participants in the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941). The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey took in 1946 a renewed measurement before and named the hill for its resemblance to a melon ( English billycock has ).
