Say there’s a forest, but there’s a small cleared area where a family can build a place to live. What’s the geographical term for that?
Edit: The word I was looking for was a clearing. A glen was suggested as well, but that is a space between rolling hills, while the space I was thinking of was on flat land.
Thank you everyone!

Old English was ‘den’. Place names ending in ‘den’ or ‘don’ were originally farmsteads cleared in the forest, i.e. Wimbledon, or Camden.
… London?
