Looks like a cow tooth, but it may be horse. Wait for others to chime in. Most of them are out collecting on summer weekends.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Reminds me more of a bovid upper premolar.  I don't know much about the mammals of UK, but here is an American Bison (in the Bovid family)

Perhaps yours is a kind of cow?

Here is cow upper Dentition... We are trying to compare OPs tooth to one of the 3 premolars.. I think it might be a P3 which is proportionally higher than wider. The "curve" on OPs tooth is on the left., so as we flip the skull,  that becomes an upper right P3...  Welcome to TFF, @JDE
