My initial thought too.

Alternatives: the proximity to the mouth of Snakepipe Hollow could also suggest some Chaos fighting origin, either the effect of chaotic attack; a defence against it - maybe Isilidan who lives over the other side of Dwarf Run used a Mostali device to vitirfy the walls; or maybe the fort is volcanic in origin formed by Maran/Lodril (depending on your perspective <g> to defend the armies battling agaist the armies trapped in the hollow).

Lots of ideas here.
