Do you happen to have some additional information on that place?
Actually, there are numerous towns of that name or variants of the

the one you mean.

Note: 
cherwony yar means "red hill" ; 
cherny yar means "black hill" 

Both could also refer to military outpost and not to "real" villages.
I did, however, locate one village that goes by that name.
