The ruins of the ancient town of Dimai are 1.5 miles to the SE of this site and which is dated to the Ptolemaic Period but it was built on top of an earlier neolithic settlement. It's Greek name means 'Island of the Crocodile-god' and is referred to as Dimeh of the Lions in Egypt.
The color of the mounds is dark and is similar to the material composition of Dimai's walls which are made of mudbrick and stone.

Looks to me more like the sand dunes have moved into the area and the local people were intent on saving some of the sites soon to be covered by sand. So they have kept up and excavation of this area for a reason. Looks to be something round sitting on top of a square feature. I think it may be an old well, like a lot of these features usually are. Or at least some sort of religious site that is being kept open by the locals.
not that strange... apparently there are over 100 pyramids (most eroded) scattered thought Egypt along the Nile.
