Anti-bird spikes?

If so, they’re called ‘anti-bird spikes’.

I think you might need to ask someone who has studied architectural history.

The correct name for it is probably in here somewhere, if you can plough through it.

If its the wooden piece at the apex of the facia board (red spike ?) It's called a Finial. Any good wood turner would make them up for you if you can't get them off the shelf.
