I'd go for Creeping Cinquefoil - Potentilla reptans, by far the commonest, 'coarse', creeping Potentilla. Leaves look right for this species.

And I take it alll back immediately cos I hadn't looked at the leaves which are rounded off so of course its creeping as Dorts says - take no notice of me my brain is turning to mush here!!!!! |

Bless you.
Creeping T. has un-lobed, toothed leaves.
Trailing T. has lobed, toothed leaves.
If the teeth are rounded it's likely to be the hybrid between the two.
