Tree root in the way
 

I want to put up a fence in the back garden. As I started digging to make a hole for the first post, I hit a tree root, about 8-9cm dia. It's not that far down, and the post needs to go in that location. Should I cut out that part of the root, and if so will, I have to treat it to stop it growning back, through the post and founds

What KIND of tree root do you think it is? What is growing nearby?
