The land of a clan is a self-contained economic unit, so you could assume it
has a selection of land/soil/rock types appropriate for each of the important
agricultural activities. For example:
marsh or river, for reed thatching and baskets;
meadow, for hay;
woodland, for timber and fire wood;
rich soil, for crops;
poor soil, for sheep.
I have some RW historical sources that deal with this---I'll post references
tomorrow.
