Bactra species
I am assuming this must be Bactra lancealana. 8mm in length. It doesn't look quite right but I see that it is a very variable species and the rare ones are costal.
Hi Andy, Certainly a Bactra and lancealana is very variable so you are probably correct, but I'd get that one checked. Those coastal species do have a tendency to wander inland sometimes...

Thank you. It is in the freezer and will be in the next batch for Peter.
