The ravine behind the sunken road was not suitable -- too many trees and too much underbrush to easily pull down the sides.

It has been said that many of the bodies were hauled up to a burial pit north of where Prentiss surrendered. (Can't find my map just now, but it is in an area with little to no traffic.) It makes sense: a lot of those bodies had been lying on the field since Sunday morning, and the Federal soldiers (being soldiers) simply found a suitable gully or ravine, rolled the bodies in and pulled down the sides to cover them. The ravine behind the sunken road was not suitable -- too many trees and too much underbrush to easily pull down the sides. ole
