The Carrock was a stony eyot in the upper reaches of the River Anduin, to the north of the Old Ford.
History
The Carrock had spiraling steps which begun from a small cavement at the bottom and led to its top. The stairs were built by Beorn who sometimes would be seen climbing to the top in the form of a bear and look at the Moon or the Misty Mountains.
In T.A. 2941, Thorin and Company were placed there by the Eagles. They bathed and rested at the cave.
Radagast the Brown's home, Rhosgobel, was near the Carrock.
Etymology
This is somewhat of a linguistical joke on Tolkien's part, since car in Celtic means "rock" (English carg).
Carrock Fell is a peak in Cumberland.
