Easiest way to test for ring final circuit?

Unless you have proper testing equipment then you cant. Why would you expect a ring to have become a radial unless some serious bodge work has occurred?
 
One loose connection, which can happen over time, would break the ring.

It wouldn’t be difficult to disconnect both ends from the consumer unit and test the basic continuity.
 
Turn the power off. Check the power is off with a device you have verified working... unless you fancy potentially ******* your boxers/dying.

Whip the easiest to access socket off the wall.

Use a multifunction tester that will do down to around 0.1 Ohms or a touch together beepy tester if your circuit isn’t massive.

Test between L-L N-N and E-E you should get continuity between them all the E-E reading should be a touch higher than the others if it’s sheathed cable.

There are other tests to do to actually make sure it is wired in a ring but I don’t have the time to explain all the fig 8 stuff.
