mounded
Shaped into hills
Mounded describes something shaped into a mound or pile—raised and rounded: mounded earth over the grave, mounded scoops of ice cream.
The past tense of mound works similarly: She mounded the potatoes in the center of the plate.
The word suggests deliberate heaping rather than natural formation.
