Crossword Genius

Treated a mowed field (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meadow

'field' is the definition.
(a meadow is a field)

'treated a mowed' is the wordplay.
'treated' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'mowed'='amowed'
'amowed' with letters rearranged gives 'MEADOW'.

(Other definitions for meadow that I've seen before include "Tract of cultivated grassland" , "Piece of grassland" , "Grassy field" , "Seventeen dn used for hay" , "Field used for hay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
