It was an Ash stump but I could tell when the roots finally gave up by the lines of fungi growing out of the lawn. Was several years after the tree was cut though.
Its really satisfying to use an area that could be an eye sore for years @Ferdinand2000 , as it takes tree stumps ages to go. At four foot its the size of a tub! Could drill it out and use it as a bed.😁

I thought about making it into a table with the first section, but it is Poplar and that would not last for many years.
I think my favourite idea if possible is to leave it 3 or 4m tall as a stump and plant climbers etc for the birds.
“Rivers know this ... we will get there in the end.”
At that height you could still drill holes and plant trailing plants providing cover and food for birds @Ferdinand2000 😁
P.S. maybe at the top drill a few holes for nesting sites? 🤔
Unfortunately this one I couldn't do that.
The one with the climbers was one done by mum in the huge garden where I grew up. It (the garden) was a couple of acres and had a whole woodland down one side; there was a row of 3 fully grown Turkey Oaks down each side of the drive.

Stump is quite small, and moss covered
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Good ideas.
