Scawt Hill is a volcanic plug in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, in the borough of Larne, 5 km from the village of Ballygally.

It gets its name from the Ulster Scots "scawd" meaning "scaly", "scabby" or "rugged". Alternatively, 'scawt' can also mean "scruffy" and "contemptible", and, when applied to rocks, "covered in barnacles".

Contact-metamorphosed limestones and dolostones intruded by diabase. Famous for being the type locality of various hydrated Ca-silicates. These minerals were formed when the existing chalk of the area was intensely altered by the intrusion of the feeder tube of an ancient volcano, now long since cooled and eroded to its roots.
