Location of occipital lymph nodes?

Question

On the back of a person's head there are what feels like a bony projection/lump on each side. A couple centimeters under that is a small 'lump' that can be felt on everyone, right at the hairline. Are these lymph nodes?

Answer 1

There are lymph nodes at the back of your head but since I am not totally sure of the location you are describing, I have enclosed two charts for you to view.
