To the north of the lower section of Llanfoist Incline Stgae 1 (NPRN 91648) are the substantial remains of an earthwork platform, comprising of a rectangular area 10.15m east - west by 7m north - south. The upslope earthwork stands some 3m high with traces of stone walling at its base, whilst the resulting downslope earthwork is some 2m high. There is no evidence of any structural remains on the platform.
The date of this feature is unclear and it may be associated with the pre-industrial landscape of the area as represented by a near-by field system (NPRN 405026), which the alignment of the platform corresponds with.
This feature was surveyed by RCAHMW in February 2006 as part of a wider investigation of Llanfoist Incline Stage 1.
