  Could be a prickly sow thistle?

  By the spots on the leaves it could be a teasel.

  Are the leaves on a Teasel rough and prickly?

  @Lyn you could be right and @mdulling yes they are rough and prickly.

  Our teasels don't have such a compact leaf rosette but that could be just where they are growing.

  I think it looks more like Bristly Oxtongue
