Leaf shape looks good. Was the flower on a branched stem with scale like bracts up it? |

I'd say a definite yes to Catsear - Hypochaeris radicata.
The commonest of the Catsear/Hawkbit/Hawksbeard complex.
In the 'leaf' photo, the lower part of the flower-stem can be seen with small bracts on it. The flower is a little undeveloped.
The similar Rough (Hairy) Hawkbit and Lesser Hawkbit have bractless stems. Autumn Hawbit only has bracts on the upper part of the flower stems.

Many thanks to you both. I think that you have to be very brave to try & ID these type of flowers
