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!

    Nope, but thank you! I think a meadow or prairie usually has vegetation like tall grasses or flowers. I’m more looking for a cleared area that has short grass at most. According to other posts it seems like a glen or clearing.
