Based on what you've described, possibly an old well.
I'd fill it in (mark it) and keep an eye on it over the coming years.
A typical sinkhole in this area will be much deeper and you can usually tell by the soil on the sides if it is a depression or sinkhole. Depressions are gradually formed whereas sinkholes are spontaneous. Sinkhole remediation is typically reserved for cases where a structure or roadway is threatened and there are firms that specialize in this.
