Lava tube buried in the sand would be my guess. I know similar caves have been spotted elsewhere on mars.

Personally I think canyons and caves are the places we really need to look but its easier to land on open plains.

Exactly what I was going to say. Once the lava passes through, it leaves behind a tunnel.
