Little was or were
As far as I know the rule says that LITTLE goes with a singular form of a verb
Little was known about them.
However, I can see sometimes that it is also used with a plural form
Little were known about them.

"little were known about them" is a mistake (except in conditional sentences like "even if little were known about them..."). It should be "was".
