Gopherus polyphemus
This on was living under a playground. I know the small holes on the edge of the shell are in fact drilled there by herpetologists to ID individual turtles in ecological studies. Also since a burrow can be twenty-five feet below ground and over a hundred feet in length the end of the burrow was much further away.
