Probably: I do have a lot of patients that come to my office complaining of a "boney lump" as you call it at the back of the neck. It is usually the spinous process of the C7or T 1 vertebrae, which are normal structures. In some patients they can be quite prominent. I would not hesitate to be seen if you are concerned.
