River at the bottom of low uncultivated land (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moor

'uncultivated land' is the definition.
(a moor is wild land)

'river at the bottom of low' is the wordplay.
'river' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river).
'at the bottom of' says to put letters next to each other.
'low' becomes 'moo' (both can mean to make a cow noise).
'r' put after 'moo' is 'MOOR'.

(Other definitions for moor that I've seen before include "Open land - secure a boat - North African" , "Tract of uncultivated upland" , "African - wasteland" , "Old North African" , "North African - secure a boat - tract of land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
