    Atecrocher, Baile Droma, Anadumag, Garaban. There used to be thirty six people in Carva, and that number of people is in it yet. There is no family name common to Carva.
    There is a gravel pit in Carva and when Glebe Chapel was being built they used this gravel for building. Before they carted it they washed it in the Sharagore river. The people still use it for building and other uses.
