Little Holm is a small island in Yell Sound, in Shetland. It lies between Northmavine and the Isle of Yell.
There is a lighthouse here.
In 1983, the Royal Navy cleared ordnance from the area, and their bomb disposal team discovered an unrecorded shipwreck nearby. Its identity is still unknown.[2][3]
