Text about Peru. I have seen 'talud en corte' but not 'plataforma corte talud'.
El ancho del camino oscila entre 1,4 y 3,0 m. y se presenta con escalinatas constituidas por escalones acomodados a lo largo de casi todo su recorrido, encontrándose también trechos de sendero y **plataforma corte talud**. En el área se encuentran los sitios arqueológicos Huachanga y Mesapata.

flat section of earth with sloping sides
Sorry, I'm not managing to find a reference that may help, but I understand the "plataforma corte talud" as being a "flat section of earth with sloping sides".
Being "plataforma" the "flat section of earth" and the "corte talud" the "sloping sides".
In the context maybe could fit as "pathways and flat sections of earth with sloping sides"...
HIH, Anne.

Comment: "Thanks for your help, Anne (and Lorena). The client didn't get back to me to confirm your suggestion, or my suggestion of 'raised path with sloping sides', so who knows :) "
