That's the point isn't it. It isn't just a spoil heap, and mound is a misleading description because it is a complex construction.

Exactly, if it was an islland you can keep sheep off it and that keeps it free from cryptosporidium which is what poisons Swallowhead.

I have no idea if this is what it is about but at least this is interesting to think about.
