This looks very like Acaena novae-zelandiae between the car park and the Woodcock Stream at Yarner Wood. The plant, which has hooked spines on its bur-like fruit, was imported from the Antipodes in sheep's wool. But this seems a rather damp, shady location. My old Collins' pocket guide gives the Latin name as Acaena anserinifolia.
