I don't think that's necessary a problem as long as you have good drainage in the hollow and good draining soil. I do recommend treating the hollow by carving out all rotting soft wood and applying lime sulfur thoroughly. I also apply wood hardener after the lime sulfur. Finally, any roots under the hollow should be cleaned out to keep moisture from accunulating.
