I have traced the stem through almost a semicircle and can find no trace of leaves. The leaves in the photo look more like a seedlimg of Tasmannia.
Montanum grows in groups, and is confined to peaty wet soils. Armeria is usually single plants, and can grow in variety of habitats.

Thanks to you both, yes it does sound interesting then if it’s not in it’s usual habitat. I wish I’d tried harder to get a good picture of the leaves. I need a better camera.

PS it was very wet where it was growing, there was water running in the road drain and the soil was quite peaty from memory.
