Hill
In military parlance and on military maps, if there is a numerical designation we use "Hill."
For example, "Concentrate artillery fire on Hill No. 11"
See Wikipedia article for this usage:

| I just checked with one native English speaker about this after posting the question. He suggested the same thing. Your answer further confirmed this. Thanks! |

high ground
They use it like this,
Soliders occupy positions on high ground.
They occupied advantageous high ground.
Soliders occupy positions on high ground.
They occupied advantageous high ground.

: I think this is accurate in general, though not in the specific circumstance where there is a numerical designator
