My uncle's tractor fell in a large hole like that on the family farm in Devon. It turned out to be a neolithic (?) grain store. Apparently, they just used to dig a large hole for storing grain. The build up of carbon dioxide acted as a preservative. Sorry, that's all I know!

Might it be worth lobbying for a grant for one of those?
