Ynys Pit & Leat is a post-medieval water supply feature located in Wales and scheduled as an ancient monument under Cadw reference GM461. The leat, a constructed watercourse typical of early modern water management infrastructure, represents the practical engineering solutions developed to convey water for industrial, domestic, or agricultural purposes during the post-medieval period. Such features are characteristic of the wider landscape modifications undertaken from the sixteenth century onwards as communities sought to harness and direct water resources more efficiently. The survival of this monument provides evidence of historical water management practices and the physical infrastructure that supported settlement and economic activity in Wales during the early modern era.
