Low-lying fertile land, especially near a river, particularly in Scotland and Northern England.
From Old English 'cærs' or Scottish Gaelic origins, possibly related to 'carr' (fen or marsh); primarily used in Scottish dialect and geography.
The word 'carse' survives mainly in Scottish place names and local dialect—it's a ghost of older land classification systems when people needed specific words for types of terrain that mattered to their survival.
