Carrock Fell is a Lake District fell of 662.3 m in Cumberland, Westmorland and Furness. Its key col leads to Knott, not to its nearest higher summit, Tarn Crags Top.

It shares its height of 662.3 m with Croaghanmoira Mountain. Its nearest higher summit, Tarn Crags Top (665 m, 2.6 km south), is a listed top not profiled here. Its drop of 89.9 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. The database describes the top as a large cairn.
