Amaurobiidae or Agelenidae.
Appears that this belongs in one of two families: Amaurobiidae, or Agelenidae. Both make relatively thick, sheet-like webs with a retreat (appears as a hole, the mouth of which the spider often sits in wait). I am curious what our resident spider experts have to say, however.
