This looks like its a Cochlicopa sp...C.lubrica and C.lubricella are difficult to tell apart.
Have you the exact size for specimen? |

The shell must have been around 1cm but if you need something a bit more accurate I can get back to you after I find another one in the garden.

Cochlicopa lubrica is believed to be the larger, max height around 7.mm while C. lubricella max height is around 6.8mm. Others say the only way is to dissect, while i have also been told this is not relaible.
