Found this laying on the surface while out on a bike ride, not sure if the number on the side 374 is a lot or fuze number, measures about 3- 3/12 inches dia. brass body with aluminium top. Anyone know.

Looking at this type of fuze i can see that it is a Z.s.u.m.W.M mortar fuze WW1 with aluminium top see picture. Strange to find it in the middle of the English countryside.
