This Dragon Mound is initially sealed. It opens during Main Quest: Alduin’s Wall, once you set off for Sky Haven Temple. After this point, but before you begin your search for the Elder Scroll, Alduin will appear here and resurrect the dragon Nahagliiv.

Alduin cannot be harmed; he resurrects his brethren and flies off. But confront Nahagliiv quickly, or he will attack Rorikstead and wipe out much of the town. Alternatively, you could lure him to the town and use the guards as a distraction to make the battle that much easier...
