It was intended to serve the village of Raglan, Monmouthshire.
Raglan Road Crossing Halt was opened on the same site in November 1930 and was closed in 1955[1] along with the rest of the line due to an engine drivers strike.
[2] The station was situated 7 miles and 59 chains from Monmouth Troy and about 1 mile from the new Raglan station.
The halt got its name from the nearby level crossing and crossing keeper's cottage on the down side of the line just north of the halt.
The halt was of earth and cinder construction, typical of the Great Western Railway.
