Little Pitt Cottage is a medieval house in Llanarth, Monmouthshire, South Wales. It was designated in 1956 as a fine and exceptionally intact timber-framed house with a cruck trussed gable, timber frame exposed, and four monumental centred doorways, modified to form a three-unit plan in the 17th century.[1][2][3] The architectural historian John Newman describes the cottage as "the most completely surviving cruck-truss hall house in the county".[4]

The windows have timber lintels under a painted stone dripmould. The ends of beams for the inserted hall floor are visible.[2]

The house was, and remains, part of the Llanarth estate.[5][6]
