Update: sinkhole is bigger than I thought, but there is no water line

Figured out how to upload pictures (thanks u/JohnHartshorn): https://imgur.com/a/9xwiHea

This sink hole popped up over the last week and at first I wasn't too considered because it seemed small, but after poking around a bit it seems like it's actually quite deep (at least 3') and narrow (<5"). The line going across that people thought might be a water line in the last post turned out to just be an old root. The whole area is clear of any utilities.

I've heard it might be rodents; if that's the case, what's the best option? Just refill with soil?

Small sink hole showed up in backyard

Bought our house a little over a year ago, 1950s build. It's a flood irrigated lot which has been great for our garden. However last week a small sinkhole (maybe 8" opening and 1.5' deep) appeared between the patio and the shed (see picture). Wife wants to fill it in with dirt but I worry there's a bigger underlying issue. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated
