The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a gentle NW-facing slope on what was once the demesne of Bullockhouse Farm House. The cropmark of an oval area (max. dims c. 140m E-W; c. 55m N-S) defined by a single ditch is visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018; 14/07/2018). Towards its E end it is cut by a NNE-SSW field bank with another field bank extending SE from it. The latter is one side of a lane that extended to a farmhouse c. 160m distant, but only these features are represented on the 1839 and 1902 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It was first reported by Catherine McLoughlin.
