clay n_Clay scrape_- a height of land on which no trees or other vegetation grew. It was usually a steep piece of land, very difficult to climb because there was no vegetation to use as a foothold. Only last weekend [reverse] when we went to walk "in over the hills", my mother-in-law said "Up the scrape is the shortest way to the hills." [see 'scrape']YesDNE-cit DICT.
