    It looks like a sucker from a cherry tree root - or maybe a seedling from a pip dropped by a bird.  If it's a sucker, you'll find the root it comes from, not far down under the surface.  Try to pull the sucker off the root.  If you just snip it off, it'll grow again!

    A seedling's a lot easier to remove, of course.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Very likely a bird 'dropped' the seed.

    I disagree with lens ... I agree with @liriodendron ... that's a prunus seedling or sucker.

    In the words of Manuel, "I know nothing". However, that does look very much like the young Cherry bush I have :)
