So it is - thanks Robert!
As for what it is... It's far too corroded to make out clearly, but it appears to be broken at both ends, so I wouldn't think it would suggest a pugio. But perhaps pugio experts might think differently?
I think its just as likely to be a tine from an old piece of farm equipment, I'm thinking a Harrower the square frame type with lots of spike thats dragged across the ground....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
