I don't have a sense of the size of the dome, but its shape reminds of something called an exfoliation dome. No need to invoke ETs', these form by a completely natural geologic process. I've seen a few in person at Big Bend in Texas. Those measured tens of feet in diameter and occurred more-or-less in a cluster. Hopefully, Oppy will get a closer look at this in the future!
