It's a bit young for identification, but I suggest garlic mustard
(Alliaria petiolata).

Looks like garlic mustard aka "Jack by the Hedge"

One of my favourites as you can eat it at this stage ;-)
It's nice in a ham sandwich instead of lettuce.

A weed is only a plant in the wrong place!

Is it the stuff that smells like ramsons? Smelled ramsons VERY strongly the
other day on a roadside verge but couldn't find any! Could it have been Jack
in the Hedge?

Thanks everyone, I also got a confirmation there from you Charlie, of the
Lampranthu, if you see my follow up to my other plant ID wanted.

Ramsons has usually died down by now - at least mine has - but Jack by the
Hedge usually only gives off a garlic smell if it's crushed.
It makes a tallish plant when mature, with a small group of white flowers at
the top.
I know it well as I have quite a bit of it in my garden.
It's not a "weed" that I particularly discourage, it's an annual and my
chickens like to eat it (as I do)
They will scoff the entire plant apart from the stem but I like to eat the
young leaves when it's just popping up like in the photo.
Somewhere I have some recipes that use it. Not transferred yet to my blue
book ;-)
The recipes might be in a book I have "Food from the Countryside"
