This looks like a flowering plant (perhaps a species of Scleranthus). It's low, compact and mat-like to cushion-like growth habit means that it is sometimes mistaken for a moss.

Hi Christine
Thanks for your contribution/photo. I have downloaded the original photo no. 1, cropped it and added it back to aid in identification.

Thanks Michael. I can see the paired flowers easily. Also Christine. The use of a foot for scale is great.
