Knockan E Chambered Cairn is located c. 75m N of the A835 at the W edge of Elphin, a small settlement in the Highlands. The ruined cairn lies down a steep N slope from the A835 in rough pasture. It is c. 80m ENE of Knockan W Chambered Cairn.
Knockan E Chambered Cairn is a subcircular mound c. 12m in diameter and 2m high. It is carpeted in rough grass. There is an irregular hollow in the NW quadrant of the cairn. This may be attributable to rabbit warrens which could still be occupied. The summit of the mound is dominated by three large orthostats, measuring c. 0.5m high. They are presumably remnants of a central chamber orientated N-S.
