   hi there,
   
   The bottom square is the lower base, the square that manifests itself on the surface of the ground is the upper base.  What you need to know are the following:
   
   The vertical (perpendicular) height of the hole , h.
   
   
   The area of the lower base, B1,
   
   
   The area of the upper base, B2.
   
   
   
   
   Then, the volume of the frustum (the hole you're describing) is given by:
   
         
   
     V = (h/3) * (B1 + B2 + sqrt(B1 * B2))
   
   
   best of luck
