Can You Help Me Identify The Animal That Dug This Hole

Hello,

I live in Nassau County, NY and this morning I noticed a hole in my lawn that I think could only have been made by a wild animal. The hole is about 1/2' to 1' deep and goes under the concrete. I need to know what I should do. Should I fill it in with top soil or should I treat it with something first? Please see the attachments.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

There is no fresh dirt so I don't think it was dug recently. It could be from a void from construction that finally became visible at the surface or an old animal burrow. I'd just fill it in.

Fill the hole and see what happens.
