Mounds

Mounds are rounded elevations of earth or other material—natural hills, burial sites, or piles deliberately heaped up: ancient burial mounds, a mound of laundry.

In baseball, the mound is the raised area where the pitcher stands.

A mound of something suggests a generous, rounded heap: a mound of mashed potatoes.

The verb means to pile up: Snow mounded against the door.
