Lítla Dímun is an uninhabited island of 0.82 km², which is estimated at 1 mørk and 8 gyllin.
The island was formerly leasehold land, which in 1850 was sold at auction to the inhabitants of Hvalba. The sheep herd consists of 280 animals.
A small shelter has been built on the island, where it is possible to stay while driving the sheep and catching birds. In autumn, the sheep are sold at auction, and the proceeds go to Lítla Dímun’s common purse.
