Full description
House C at Carn Euny was partly uncovered during Christie's excavation in 1965 (h2) and was excavated the following season. It consists of a double wall of rab and soil, up to 1.3m high, backing onto the long passage of the fogou (28920.14). A small portion of the inner face survives, and although believed to be a house of the type of House A (28920.01), little of it remains. Christie was unable to relate it with any certainty to the occupation levels it could have enclosed but some of its pits and post holes are believed to be contemporary (b1). The monument was included in the Schedule on 28/9/1934 and the scheduling was updated 18/3/1996.
