While driving another country back road, near where I live, I saw this tree growing in the middle of a pasture.
Do you see the tree is growing out of the base of a huge cut tree? This is a Coppice Stool.
It appears the original tree was cut. But, many times it just happens in nature, when a tree has fallen due to damage from storms. If you would like to read more about coppicing click Here. Another good article, written by Britain's CAT, is Here.

If you look closely, you can see a small dark opening at the base of the older tree. I wonder if it might be an open fairy door......
