The stump which is a horse chestnut was chopped down about 2 month ago, it

I wouldn't bother trying to dig out a Horse Chestnut that size without
some mechanical help. If you really must get it out now then I'd
suggest getting a tree surgeon to grind it out or hire a stump grinder
yourself.
Horse Chestnut will very probably try to re-grow so you could use
Ammonium Sulphamate (Root-Out, and one or two other trade names) to
kill it. Then as I suggested before camouflage it with suitable
planting and leave it to rot.
