This is a female trapdoor spider (link) hole:
Can you see it?
The burrow is lined with satin smooth silk. The door fits so tightly that when it is closed you cant fit a pocket knife blade in the crack. Obviosly I know a trick to open them. There are drap door spider species in the mediterranean region as well.
The male trapdoor spider hole is half the size of the female.
