I cannot really see Ross digging a hole in the woods, he is not exactly fond of hard physical graft, and digging a hole like that would be hard graft, one would be sore all over the next day. Come to think of it I cannot see Cain doing it either.
Still does not explain how they knew where to dig it, or did they dig numerous holes dotted about the woods?
They could have borrowed a digger from Joseph Tate's company which knocked the Dingle house

I am not putting as much thought as you in to the dug hole I hope you can get answers
