It's probably a fine idea. Go ahead. Plants won't
grow well in it, but you can always add compost to
the top layers after it fills up further.

I need to fill in a low area right up against the side of my house. (Because
of this low area, we have experienced some flooding in our basement.) I am
thinking this might be a good place to dump my terra sigilatta waste. Is
this a bad idea for some reason that I do not know about?

It's just clay, so it won't do any harm at all.
