Might be something else.
I'm inclined to agree with Metepeira, but look forward to an expert diagnosis at some point. Placing at family level for now.

The web should consist of a nice orbweb on one side combined with a complicated mass of confusing threads where the spider has her home. This is the Labyrinth, Metepeira labyrinthea, in the guide here. Nice find!
