What can I use to fill huge hole Garden?

No one is suggesting you fill it completely with good soil. Rubbish soil will do and however many inches of good at the top. 12 inches of soil over rubble will just sift itself into the voids between the rubble over time so not only will it dry out much faster than the rest of your intended lawn, it will sink too. Also, whatever you put in it will have to be left for a bit to settle itself, like graves, they start off with a big mound that just settles over six months to a year which is why you can't put a headstone on for that amount of time. It will just topple as the soil sinks. FBMP usually have people trying to give away top soil [ or their rubbish soil really] or try gumtree, freecycle etc.

Or contact a grab hire company - I've had crushed rubble delivered for £10 per tonne, and they could do the same for sub & top soil. Just need to make sure it is graded to remove large stones and free of weeds (especially knotweed & ground elder).

I had a very deep pond in my last home. It was filled with rubble up to 50cm, then top soil.  No issues over the next two years before we sold.

when I bought my house there was a slight dip in the lawn.  Over 4 years that dip got much deeper and spread across the lawn.  I bit the bullet and had it excavated and was horrified top find that there had been a very large pond there that had been filled with all sorts of rubble large and small (including a garden gnome and plastic planters, rubber pond liner etc).  I ended up with 24 ton of crap being taken out before we got to good soil.  My builder filled the bottom with type 1 and used a machine to tamp it down so there was no air spaces which would have collapsed again in the future.  The rest was filled with top soil and I was £4.5k lighter.

My advice is don't skimp or you'll regret it.  Do the job properly and don't live to regret not doing it properly.

You do need to fill it with soil, but subsoil should be free because usually nobody wants it. If you find a site where a house is being built they will be glad to give it to you or even deliver it (not whole estates, those large contractors don't care and just spread it all over the gardens).Tamp that down well then add at least a foot of decent soil on top. Be careful where you source the topsoil because it can be full of weeds

It looks like the whole garden needs landscaping. Instead of grassing over the pond area, creating future problems withi sinking  and dry dying grass, why not create a dry rock / decorate stone  / alpine / tall grasses garden with seating area that will be low maintenance draught tolerant . Plenty of ideas online. You can incorporate all those tiles as a feature.

Nobody's going to want to plant a tree there, so I'd discount that as a consideration.

If you are planning on re-turning or seeding the area why don't you take all the original turf off and use to fill in the hole and start with a clean slate for the garden.

I am no expert and it's extra work but the garden looks quite "bitty" and I think it would look better if you did the complete lot.

Why if ( as you say..) it could possibly be a Roman bathing pool would you not
A ) get it checked out first - it could be of historic value
It could be 
worth a fortune
Or
C) make a feature of it .. an outdoor seating area with fireplace - some people have paid to have those holes made in the ground ! ( paint the walls etc)
Just putting a lawn down is ... 🥱🥱🥱
