Overview
Little Elrick is the exact Historic Environment Scotland record for a named whole township in Aberdeenshire. The supporting saved type component is Township (period Unassigned). The source leaves its period unassigned. The saved record identifies the place without supplying safe names for its owners or residents.
Who lived here and when
The official record identifies Little Elrick with the exact type wording Township (period Unassigned). The source leaves its period unassigned. It does not safely name particular residents, families or landholders.
Homes and daily life
The exact type shows that this was an inhabited place rather than an isolated field or wall. The saved row does not describe individual homes, possessions, work or daily routines at Little Elrick.
What was found
This record preserves the name, classification and mapped point of Little Elrick. It does not safely list excavated objects or building finds, so none are added here.
Why it ended
The saved record does not explain whether Little Elrick was abandoned, cleared, rebuilt or gradually fell out of use. The word deserted is used only when it appears in the exact official type.
Why it mattered
Little Elrick matters because it fixes a named inhabited place in the landscape of Aberdeenshire. Its exact subject and period help show where communities lived, while the individual source record gives later local research a firm starting point.
