Well, in standard usage a pile (or pile inverted) reaches almost but
not quite to the edge of the shield -- close enough that you can't
put a charge there, but far enough that you can easily see a gap.
This I would blazon "a pile inverted throughout Or".

To back up the illegal call, note this precedent, among many others:


    [Per fess embattled azure and sable, a cat sejant affronty] This
    is being returned for having an overlying charge across a low
    contrast field with a complex line of division. (Jaelle of Armida,
    LoAR October 1997, p. 14)
