Tadmarton Camp is a bivallate fort which is roughly circular in shape, the interior had a diameter of about 165 metres. The internal bank survives at a height of upto four feet above the interior (and upto around 6 feet from the outside).The internal bank is visible almost all the way around the fort.
The fort is cut through, north-east to south-west by a modern road, to the south-east of the road the fort now forms part of a golf course; to the north-west the fort is on farmland which looks like it is sometimes ploughed.
Tadmarton Camp is assumed to date from the Iron Age, English Heritage (on PastScape) in a badly worded site description suggest it might date to the nineteenth century, but on further reading it turns out that the nineteenth century reference is not the hillfort/camp but a nearby "squarish ditched earthwork".
