If it were mine I would connect the two piles as a spread out expansive lengthy area maybe combining rocks, concrete pieces and brush. or tree tops. Note twiggy woody brush will degrade in several years and need to be replaced as i degrades. Install it with plans of replacement. Lots of log type structures are said to be very effective fish habitat. .
