On the edge of a steep bank facing north. About 10cm away from another orchid from a different genera.

Not easy to tell from the flowers that are past their best but probably C. cornuta.

I agree that the flowers look like cornuta. My only hesitations are the position of the leaf tip which is well below the flowers - level with the tip of the bent-over inflorescence - and the lack of well developed stripes on the dorsal sepals.
