That makes me sick at my stomach, because I’ve been there. I bought a place in 2015 that had a brand new pond built on it, and the dam washed out in the first hard rain after I bought it. I ended fixing mine in about 4 hours with my skid steer, but that’s going to take more substantial equipment to fix.
I have a couple a few hours to work on the road, but not bad otherwise. I need to brush hog as well, but that is a routine thing.

Just a guess on my part, but it could’ve had tree/tree roots or a cattle trail there where it broke.
I think that is where the level control pipe ran through the dam. Might have had a leak inside that eroded it away. You are more experienced in this kind of stuff, but not having anymore than the one photo, it would be tough to be sure.
