That hole that you mentioned. Could it be the beginnings of a den? Are the surrounding areas suitable for a den to be located there? Any rock outcroppings? What a great area to go herping in.

The whole area is littered with dens actually. Many of the holes don't look like much as you approach them but they actually go down very deep into the ground and can run for quite a distance. Most of the dens got their start as Badger dens as they are usually the only ones deep enough to get below the frost line as winters here can and often do get to -50C.
This was just one spot where dens are found near me, there are at least 3 more I know of that are all within 15 minutes from my house.
