G?ran,
I don't think this is meteorite related.
Since it is in the middle of a traveled road,
the origin of the impression is most likely
the result of a vehicle or person/s stopping at that
spot for some unknown reason.

This remind me of the mystery crater found
in an asphalt parking lot.

And then Maria Nelson did a field report and discovered the truth;

Best,
