Lying about 0.4 km SSE of Cairn K is this ruined cruciform chamber open to the NE.

This is an undifferentiated passage tomb with curved passage and a sill separating the chamber from the passage.

This is the odd one out amongst the Carrowkeel cairns as it is the only long cairn.
It has been classified as a court cairn because of the unusual features at its S end.
However the excavators in 1911 found a transepted (cruciform) chamber at the N end so it appears to have some passage grave features as well. This is now the most visible feature at the site.
Only two days were spent excavating the cairn so some important detail may have been missed.

These two cairns lie 50m apart in the hills to the N of the access road to the Carrowkeel cemetery about 0.6 km W of cairn G.
Both are ruined. The 1911 excavations suggest that C had the cruciform chamber seen at other Carrowkeel sites and D had traces of a passage leading to a cist within the cairn.

Part of a cruciform gallery of this court tomb is visible in the peat. It can be seen as part of a visit to the Ceide Fields visitor centre.
