in British antiquity, denotes heaps of stones, supposed to be druidical remains, and thrown together on occasion of confirming and commemorating a covenant, Gen. xxxi. 46. They are very common in the Isle of Anglesey, and were also used as sepulchral monuments, in the manner of tumuli; for Mr Rowland found a curious urn in one of these carnedde, whence it may be inferred, that the Britons had the custom of throwing stones on the deceased. From this custom is derived the Welsh proverb Korn ardyben, I'll betide thee.

CARNEA, in Antiquity, a festival in honour of Apollo, surnamed Carneus, and held in most cities of Greece, but especially at Sparta, where it was instituted. The reason of the name, as well as the occasion of the institution, is controverted. It lasted nine days, beginning on the 13th of the month Carneus. The ceremonies were an imitation of the method of living and discipline used in camps.
