Are you 100% sure it's horn/animal material?
I'm assuming it's about 1.5 to 2 inches long by the background - although we have nothing to judge scale against. If it's horn, then I'd say goat/small deer perhaps?
Found yesterday behind my back gate on our driveway just by one of our cars. I have absolutely no idea how it got there, and although it looks vaguely familiar, I am not sure what animal it comes from.
Any ideas?
PS - After extensive research I have comprehensively ruled out a slow worm.

So clever my foot fell off.

A good point - just measured it - it is five inches long.

Looks like it might be the small anterior horn of a muntjac? Hard to say without scale but here's an image:
Antler dog treat/chew?
That is not deer antler, which is white underneath a dark outside, and is not fibrous like that.
I would say it is definitely horn and not antler.
WEREWOLF CLAW.
A very small Rhinoceros?

Horse / cow hoof sliver, something along those lines, definitely keratinous not bony like antler - probably (as mentioned) a dog chew picked-up by fox or corvids and dropped there.
King penguin?
I've taken some more pics - hopefully giving more closeup detail.

A shark tooth.
Coconut husk, perhaps dropped by a, now unladen, swallow
Is it, perhaps, just a gash .... piece of wood?
Something that's fallen off your Aston?
