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.
Marked as 'Lower Carley' on modern mapping.
