Site E of Plas-Llwyn is an Early Medieval enclosure in Monmouthshire, Wales, identified through aerial photography as part of the wider Plas-Llwyn complex. The site comprises a rectilinear or curvilinear enclosure, characteristic of Early Medieval settlement patterns in Wales, though its precise chronology within the Early Medieval period remains to be firmly established through archaeological investigation. The monument was revealed by aerial survey techniques, which have proven particularly effective in detecting cropmarks and soil marks that define such enclosures where surface remains are slight or obscured. The site contributes to understanding the distribution and character of Early Medieval settlement in the Monmouth area during the period broadly spanning the fifth to eleventh centuries.
