mounds
Small earthen hills
Mounds are raised piles or heaps—of earth, sand, snow, or other material.
Some are natural formations; others are deliberately built, like ancient burial mounds or pitcher's mounds in baseball.
The word extends to any heap-like accumulation: mounds of paperwork, a mound of mashed potatoes.
To mound is to pile into such a shape.
