Evening all ..
I'm just after some advice concerning footings for a retainer wall. I'm building a timber shed but want to make it bigger and so making its base bigger.
This requires me to build a small wall no more than 1.2 high, iv part dug out for the footings which I planned for 300mm deep .. I knew I would find roots as close to tree but there a tad bit bigger than anticipated..

The roots are pretty much on the surface. Literally 50mm below . The width of footing is about 400mm. Thickest of the root is about 100mm.
I know if it was going to be a substantial build the advice would be to dig deeper and bigger .. but given it's a small wall for a shed to hold up would I be ok to just chop it out as best as possible and continue as planned?
