See my reply #17 above, with maps showing exactly where Kersebonny is.

A carse or kerse is a flat alluvial area near a river.

Other words for similar features are haugh and water-meadow.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
