Agreed - definitely a lapsed Hornbeam pollard.  I'm lucky enough to have lots (50+) of them (pictures if anyone wants some ?).  Occasionally they fall over, at which point they do indeed make excellent firewood (more calorific than Oak, I think) and it dries relatively quickly but .... it is notoriously hard especially when dried. I always make sure it's ringed up asap.

You must be landed gentry to own 50 hornbeam pollards that big or have a very long driveway?

 

😐

 

Can you re-pollard them to reduce the chance of them falling over?
