Hi, hope this is the right forum. I'm looking for the name of this shell, or the name of whatever lived in it.

It is a "winkle" or prosobranch mollusc of some kind. I do not know them well enough to know species. Was this from Ireland? Some species of Calliostoma or Jujubinus or Gibbula have a similar shape and can be brightly marked.
