In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Black Carts like this:
BLACK-CARTS-WITH-RYEHILL, an extra-parochial tract in Hexham district, Northumberland; near the Roman wall, 8½ miles NW of Hexham. Pop., 19. Houses, 3.
The location is that named as "Black Carts" on the modern 1:50,000 map.
