Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking will force out this stolen human claim. Drop the closed chamber and show it in the owner's visible product.
In pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 159, no. 88a) as ‘Stone fort (?)’ and described as ‘a segment of [an] earthen and stone wall’ (L c. 9m), ‘sited on a small hill called “Knockaunalaghta”’ Possibly the remains of a cashel. No visible surface trace survives but its faint outline is visible on the OSi Ortho_ITM aerial photograph.
