Fennell Hill, also known as Cox Site and Milberry Site, is a historic archaeological site located near Peeples, Allendale County, South Carolina. It is a formative shell midden on the Savannah River measuring about 96 meters long by about 48 meters in width. The midden contains large quantities of fiber-tempered and Thom's Creek pottery—both examples of the earliest pottery found in the southeast.[2][3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
