Don't think it's a Hogweed, wrong shaped leaves. More likely to be the Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris) which seeds freely, has rounded leaves towards the base and ivy shaped leaves higher up. Very pretty pinky-lilac flowers. Grows anything from 12-30" depending on the soil.

Wait and see if it flowers then!

Thats what I thought too. Its a wild flower - whether you class it as a weed depends on whether you like it and want it. Weeds are only plants growing in the wrong place.
