Mysterious hole appearance in the soil.

A small deep hole about 7cm across has appeared in the soil in my garden. There is no evidence of a mole so I'm wondering what has been burying under the earth. Has anyone any ideas? Might be a rat I'm afraid. Rat does seem te most likely. Or mouse by daydaisy
