I suspect that this definition for tolled needs correction. It is not “simple past tense and past participle of tolled,” but “simple past tense and past participle of toll” (sans ‘ed’).

You're right--that's a bug in the way we ingest Wiktionary data. In certain cases words that should have links to related forms ("toll" in this case) instead mistakenly refer to themselves.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention--we're working on a fix.
