This looks like the eggsac of Paidiscura pallens, a species of Theridiid spider. I don't know if these are characteristic for the species (closely related species may have similar looking eggsacs), however, but it is quite a common and widespread species, and the location is right.

Just checked, as Paidiscura pallens in the only Paidsicura species in the country, and the eggsac is fairly characteristic.

Greg | Thanks Greg - thought it might be a spider egg-sac but thought they were normally non spiky.
