My first response on seeing those pics was Oh Wow ! I just love finding things like that. Did you see I found a Sharks tooth a couple of months back ?
My thoughts are that it’s a Brown Bears tooth and was worn as a charm against harm way back in the early Bronze Age.
There are some interesting, recent, articles on Brown Bears if you google them. Seems like they’re going to be re-introduced to the UK somewhere near Bristol. Some sort of Theme Park by the sound of it. Lord help the locals if one of them gets loose.

Smoothed of edges would stop it fraying. That makes me wonder if it’s a claw. Animal claws are like our nails, formed with layers and they separate.

Looking at the first pic more carefully you can see striations along the length. It’s a claw!

Paul, you are a miserable so & so.  Grin. That ‘killer’ Squirel was a baby and it thought the man was his daddy.

Interesting find.

I never thought about a Boars tusk. Much more likely and probably more modern.
Still a nice find though..
