till
* Clay * Silt * Sand * Pebbles * Cobbles * Boulders * Gravel
This is most likely glacial till (in the past this was commonly known as boulder clay) and was deposited by glaciers.
Glacial PlainA l outwash plain is a stratified deposit of sand and gravel transported by water from a melting glacial ice sheet.
Moraines are made up of clasts ranging from very fine (clay) up to very large (boulders) and the intermediate clast sizes (silt, sand, gravel and cobbles)

The material formed is called till. The structure formed is called a moraine.
Moraine is the accumulation of rock and detritus on the surface of the glacier. When the glacier retreats or melts, this material is left behind, and may be recognized by its 'unsorted' nature, and the high proportion of clay particles. It may also have large boulders, which are rounded at the corners only.
till
A ridge or mound of debris chiefly composed of boulders, gravel, sand, and clay is called a moraine. Moraines are deposited by glaciers and can be found in various formations, such as lateral moraines along the sides of glaciers or terminal moraines at the end of a glacier's advance. Moraines are important features in understanding past glacial activity.

It's glacial deposition not glacier deposition.Glacial deposition:An advancing ice sheet carries an abundance of rock that was plucked from the underlying bedrock; only a small amount is carried on the surface from mass wasting. The rock/sediment load of alpine glaciers, on the other hand, comes mostly from rocks that have fallen onto the glacier from the valley walls. The various unsorted rock debris and sediment that is carried or later deposited by a glacier is called till. Till particles typically range from clay-sized to boulder-sized but can sometimes weigh up to thousands of tons. Boulders that have been carried a considerable distance and then deposited by a glacier are called erratics.Erratics can be a key to determining the direction of movement if the original source of the boulder can be located.

Glacial sediments that are sorted are due to flowing water in the glacier. Unsorted sediments are those that have thawed out of the ice randomly.
