Haven't been able to get to it yet, with all the weeds and other crap.

If it is where I remember, it looks like it was broken up and filled in with crap. I spent part of today pulling bricks/blocks that were sticking up out of the dirt so I can build a fire ring and start burning these piles of old tree limbs and shit. But then the fucking rain started.

Going to have to make a pile for you of all the metal and bullshit through the weeds.

Apparently I received a free gift with my purchase of land in the form of a large, subterranean hornet nest.
The guy driving the tractor was amused. "I was wondering when I'd find some yellow jackets."
As soon as they calm down I am going to build a nice brush fire over where they are swarming.

As I said, we found a big hornet nest underground while trying to clear the land, where a building had burned down X years ago.
Last night I tossed a fairly big pile of old wood and brush over the hole the hornets were flying in and out of... I actually did this over the course of 2 days because I could only put one thing on a time on the pile, from 15 feet away, because the hornets were all like WTF IS THIS STUFF LANDING ON OUR HOME.
Anyway, last night before dusk I lit the pile, and fed brush from the trimmings of other trees for 4 hours to keep it burning and cook the hell out of the ground.
I just went out, and there are fucking hornets out there flying in and out of a new hole 1 inch from the furthest ash from the pile.
Fucking fuckers.
I guess I need to bring in a bunch of dirt and just bury them, I guess.

Presumably they can dig, or they wouldn't have any holes at all.
You could try pouring a slab over them.

For taking out some hornets, I bet you could cobble together someone homemade explosives pretty easily.

While nowhere near as fun as pyromania and explosives I have heard good things about traps.
Don't know anyone who used this exact one but have used traps and are happy.
They are a little slower but they can't replace the killed ones with new ones fast enough and the hive dies off.
I poured gas down the whole when it was evening and they were not as active and then lit it on fire. Not sure if it really did anything but was fun.
