I would say that is definitely not sweet cicely, that flowers much earlier and will have set seeds by now. Easy to recognise when you do fiind it (I have it in my garden, cook it with rhubarb as a sweetener instead of adding a lot of sugar). The leaves smell of aniseed when crushed, and the seeds are about an inch long and taste of aniseed - good to chew if you have an upset stomach.
Having said all that, not easy to work out what it is, could be wild carrot, fool's parsley, hedge parsley etc. Withe umbellifers a lot depends on leaf shape, flower bracts etc - things that need a close scrutiny.

I did go through the ident website, but got a bit stir crazy with all the similar plant. gave up as time was moving on, and had to post the pictures. It was one of those "I wish moments" about not taking a picture of the leaves. I did look at those suggested and they didn't quit measure up. back in an hour, got to go out.
