The pattern is ogham (goidelic writing) the bit I can see looks like the letters C and R, are there any marks on the inside to give an idea of age? You can still buy rings with it on but you never know. If you can photograph the whole pattern I'll see if I can get it translated Wink

Interesting Huh the problem comes by not knowing which way around it was written and also which letter is the beginning but either way it includes a Z or a Q neither of which are included in the modern Irish alphabet.
I find it hard to believe it could be an ancient Hiberno/Norse ring but stranger things have turned up and your in the right part of the world and the script is quite rustic looking, I would say the FLO or local museum would be the best place to get it seen just in case as they will be able to contact the few ogham experts in existence Wink
keep us informed
