I'd say ancient bronze age smelter. The melted glass maybe was a flux for melting and casting the metal?

A bit of context might help, they look like salt water finds?
An old fish/whale spear??
Looks to be a small cannon ball or canister shot.
Maybe melted glass with other slag, but can't tell.

Doesn't Englad love maps? Maybe a bit of research is in order. If you don't have the time to research it maybe email the location to a historical society and they can give you a known history of the place?

Perhaps a 17th or 18th century blacksmith was there and you've uncovered the refuse pile which contains tools, shot and melted glass.
