I've just dug out 15 tonnes with my son with very rocky soil. We had to use Newcastle drain spades & a pick just to get it loose. I wish we had soil like that in Yorkshire. Great to see younger folk with your attitude these days pal.

Reminds me when I was in the army doing defensive exercises.we had to dig a trench chest high like yours with a small shovel and pick, and then a sleeping bay / bunker with overhead cover min of 4 foot. No sleep, until it was done. Then you may be out on night patrol. We dug in clay, sandy soil, rock and slate dependant on location. Now retired and digging foundations for my garden project…but now utilise my wife to help me dig 😅

Working on a grain bin foundation. Got the 16" avg. of gravel backfill in place in the interior with forms and about to start digging the footings. Everything on my grain bin foundation is referencing the original terrain around the 1 1/4" center pivot pipe driven 4' in the ground with a removable 1" internal pipe with a fabbed board holder welded to it, that can either lock a 2x6 in place with a bolt for measuring distance and level to center, or remove the bolt to let it slide back and forth for screeding backfill/concrete. I use different board attachments screwed into the board to scribe lines, achieve uniform depth, etc. Pipe driven in the ground has a coupler, so I can add the appropriate length pipe for the final concrete height. The centerline of the footing is 21' in diameter. Footing will be 2ft wide, 15.5 in deep in relation to original grade of center (to achieve 12" minimum for footing below grade on the low side, high side will be 19" below grade at the bottom of footing). Going to do it all by hand.
