What made this lawn damage?

Must be an invasive in VA.

Someone decided to fire a bunch of 12 ga slugs into the ground?

Well heck, frogs dig holes like that too. If the holes are in shade and damp ground, it could be frogs. But frogs don't generally nest that close together. Any insect eating fauna will dig.

I should have said S.Virginia, so no armadillo or bandicoots. They're not holes all the way through, just depressions.

Bandicoots?

Sorry. Meant armadillos.

I also vote squirrel/chipmunk. They are doing this at my house now too, to find their buried nuts to eat. In the summer when they stash them, the hole is not very noticable (they cover it up, and grass fills in quick). You'd think the proper squirrel etiquette would be to at least fill in your nut hole. c'mon you stupid vermin.

You would think that the Dingos would keep the Bandicoot population down in VA

In the Ozarks, we're getting those from Armadillos. They can really make a mess of the lawn. You can spot them doing it at night, and they're not really smart. My sons use them for target practice.

I had one pesky determinEd armadillo until he got dumb and ventured out in daylight recently. They sure are heavy when carried off in a shovel. . I will say they are far smarter than possums.

You probably have a grub infestation in your yard and the Skunks and Raccoons can smell them and are digging them up

You need to spray the yard or have it sprayed by a professional for grubs. Your holes will disappear and your grass will look better.
