Flat-topped mount (4)

I believe the answer is:

mesa

(Other definitions for mesa that I've seen before include "Isolated flat-topped hill" , "Flat tableland with steep edges" , "In the US south-west, a steep-sided flat-topped hill" , "Geographical feature" , "High land" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
