Cinquefoil
I thought at first glance that this is Tormentil (Potentilla erecta), and the leaves certainly look like Tormentil leaves, but one of the diagnostic features of P erecta is that it has four petals. However my flower book hedges its bets by saying 'almost always has four petals'. So this is probably an aberrant Tormentil and if so it is quite rare.
