Maybe load up a sonotube with the concrete out of the hole. Let it cure, then drop it unto the hole. Basically, a pre-cast pier just like a number of pre-cast pier products in the market. (ETA: Sounds like concrete in the hole as others suggested would be easier!)

Might also want to consider a j-bolt and 4x6 bracket instead if putting the wood in the concrete, if its that wet.
