No credible fact exists about the requested Irish fort. The available input is a website notice about an archive, not a history of the place. I will not hide that gap or build a fiction around it.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded.

A fairy fort, also known as an earthen ringfort or rath, is a circular earthwork enclosure typically dating to the early medieval period (c. 500–1000 AD), often associated with domestic or defensive use. Local folklore commonly links such sites to the faerie folk or other supernatural beings, reflecting their enduring presence in Irish tradition.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
