Burial mounds are evident in many passages of the Silmarillion. Glorfindel's mound is near the pass where he fell with the Balrog, then of course there is Haudh-en-Elleth wherein Finduilas was buried. Also, the Elves of Doriath buried Turin in a mound, and there is the mound of dead Eldar and Edain slain at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears (in Anfauglith if I remember correctly). I'm at work, but that's what I can recall off-hand.
