An ideal tree for Barbastelle bats because of the bark peeling from the bark, leaving crevices for the bats.

The steep sandy loam banks on the root plates of fallen trees are the ideal habitat for the species described below.
Lots of protonema felt around the site of the growing moss.

Likely to be Aloe Haircap (Pogonatum aloides) rather than Dwarf haircap (Pogonatum nanum)
but capsules are the only reliable means of identification.

Showing the very prominent prop nose cone bud indicative of this species.
It isn't the only species that shows this feature but being in Norfolk it is fairly conclusive.
Others include S fimbriatum, S girgensohnii and three rarities
Very partial to a baes rich flush or fen habitat

Notes from JM on Zygodon id
Your photos are very clear and the measurements are what is required - measurements of more gemmae (say 5-10) would be good
to get more of a picture and also some of the leaf features (see following). However, as I conclude - it is most likely Z. viridissimus.
In order to fully key out Zygodon (I have used Smith p 659) - some of the leaf features are needed for full determination:
toothing towards apex of leaf present / or not
lf cells papillose / or not
mid leaf cell width
costa excurrent/ or not
This would enable a check for gracilis, forsteri or stirtonii (of which Z. stirtonii is an outside possibility as found very rarely in Norfolk. The other 2 are very localised). F
or example, Z. stirtonii found at Stratton Strawless churchyard in 2008 by Norfolk Bryology Group. Latest record 2018 at Roughton again in a churchyard. Only 21 records for Norfolk on NBN.
Then you get to Z. conoideus which has gemmae 7-8 cells long and without longitudinal cell walls (plus cell width on mid leaf required).
So from your photos I would say it is not Z. conoideus.
Then Z. viridissimus - versus - Z. rupestris. These are separated on gemmae width, and presence of longitudinal cell walls present (sometimes in
viridissimus or not at all in rupestris). Your widths are 32 and 34 and one has a longitudinal wall. So on balance therefore I'd say Z. viridissimus.

The recurved margins are visible along the whole length of the leaf.
The costa is well defined, narrow and bears A relationship of 1:6 to the width of leaf towards its base in this case.
