Solved Please help identify this plant - Ivy (Hedera hibernica)

Hi,
New on here and would like some help identifying this plant please.
Thanks

 

looks like Ivy to me.

 

Pete's right

Note the different shape of the leaves near the berries compared to the lower leaves (out of view) That's called Polymorphism

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Angie Mac

 

Now I feel really stupid should have guessed. I've just moved and inherited a very old and overgrown garden, this beastie has completely covered and I think killed its host tree and is threatening to knock down an old dry stone wall. The tree is history but think I can save the wall, would it be best just to sever some of the roots and let it die back or just try to haul it out?
Polymorphism?? Does this suggest some unusual changes in the leaves?

 

That's why I was saying about the different shaped leaves, no need to feel daft, it wasn't what you were expecting Ivy to look like

Best get what you can out, if you sever the main stem it'll convert the aerial suckers to roots and plunge into whatever it can find to survive.

 

It usually dies once its terrestrial roots are severed, unless there is another source of water.

 

Thanks guys, will prepare to do battle!!
No doubt I'll have more unidentifiables soon and will be asking for more help. So glad I found this forum

 

I had to clear a twenty metre section of dry stone wall (two metres tall) of Ivy seven or eight years ago. I severed the trunk, drilled holes in the stump and filled with root killer. As far as the Ivy in the wall went I pulled the easy lightweight growth out, but I left the heavy growth in (I figured that it was better for the wall to settle down onto this growth gradually as it decayed rather than tear it out leaving large gaps everywhere) and put a lot of copper nails into this remaining growth to kill it. The wall is still upright and Ivy free.

 

I believe the full name is Hedera hibernica.
