Galloway hoard was discovered in a field in western Scotland in 2014 .

It proved to be the richest collection of Viking-age objects ever found in Britain or Ireland .

The long-standing mystery of who might have owned it when it was buried more than 1,000 years ago may have been solved.

Evidence has been found in a runic inscription on one of the hoard’s four elaborate silver “ribbon” arm rings, which has only just been deciphered.
