After some trial and error fitting with various drain pipe fittings, and digging the hole in the floor deeper and wider, I finally figured out how to best utilize the space offered by the original hold in the ground.
I dug out the dirt under the original p-trap, took my handy torch to the fitting just under the lip of the floor and sweated the P-trap off of the drain pipe laying the way to adding a newly fashioned p-trap.
I back filled the hole using water to settle the sand down into a hard pack leaving about about a 1-1.5" to accommodate a cement layer bringing the floor back to level.

Next step will be the sloping concrete subfloor. Who knew a tiled bath had so many layers and requirements to it??
