Carley (Higher and Lower) first appears in a document of 1230 as 'Carleg' and is mentioned throughout the Middle Ages in various forms. The first element of the name may derive from the Cornish, 'Caer', a fort or camp. No remains are visible, however. The second element may be the equivalent of the Welsh, 'llech' meaning flat stone.
Ordnance Survey, 2009, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV341569.
