Looks like Cuckoo flower to me. Were the leaves all trailing close to the ground on long stems with little round leaves on them? The whole plant about 6 inches or so tall?
Pretty, what ever it may be :)
Spiderbaby's theory sounds good to me. Cardamine Pratensis, if that seems any more convincing. ;)

Thank you so much you two, you're too good to me! Once I'd been pointed in the right direction I found another name...Lady's Smock.
Edit: Also, it was in a quite damp valley area that I saw the flowers, bearing out the habitat described in the references.
Yes Caine, they're really tiny.
Yes GD, very good to learn another flower name.
