Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox SSSI Hurst Hill or Cumnor Hurst is a Шаблон:Convert biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Oxford in Oxfordshire.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3]

The site is owned by All Souls College, Oxford,[4] and its mosses and liverworts have been monitored for more than fifty years. The hill is also important geologically. In 1879 a fossil of a Camptosaurus prestwichii, a large herbivorous dinosaur dating to the Upper Jurassic 153 million years ago, was found on the site.[5] The fossil belongs to a typically North African genus, and provides evidence of a land bridge across the proto-Atlantic in the Late Jurassic.[6]

The hill is mentioned in Matthew Arnold's poem The Scholar Gipsy.[4]
