Not entirely sure how to differentiate the stinging nettles.

The lack of other hairs between the stinging hairs suggests it is either Urtica incisa or U. urens, who without flowers present are split on thesize of the leaves which is a bit hard to tell from the photo, but I think your ID is correct
