The map in Glorantha the 2nd Age (page 106) shows the same general contours as the 3rd Age ones so the hills presumably were created before the 2nd Age. Alda-Chur doesn't appear on the 2nd Age map.

Given the proximity to Wintertop I'd speculate that it's Maran Gor's stomping ground. Maybe she or one of her priestesses buried a chaos horde under them.
