"The earliest known reference to Cargreen was in 1018 when the bounds of the manor of Tinnel mentioned "Carrecron". It was then probably no more than, as the name implies (in Cornish), an outbreak of hard rock jutting into the Tamar."{{Cite book|title="Green Lane Walks in South East Cornwall"|last=Luck|first=Liz|publisher=The Green Lanes Project|pages=30}}
