How to say "moor" in Japanese

• 平原へいげんCommon
  nounPrimarily a broad, flat stretch of open country — a plain or prairie. Its 'moor' sense is marginal: it suggests level grassland rather than heathery upland.
  初秋しょしゅうの頃ころのほど、その平原へいげんが美うつくしく見みえるときはない。↗

  At no time does the plain look so perfect as in early autumn.
• 原野げんやCommon
  nounVast, wild, uncultivated open land — wilderness or waste land. Of the four, this comes closest to 'moor' as empty uncultivated country, though it does not specifically picture heather-covered upland.
  この静しずかな原野げんやで狩猟しゅりょうをすることは禁止きんしされています。↗

  Hunting game is forbidden in this tranquil wilderness.
• 野原のはらCommon
  nounAn open field or stretch of grassy ground. Its 'moor' sense is marginal: for wild, uncultivated moorland this is seldom the word you want — it really means 'field'.
  野原のはらは雪ゆきで覆おおわれています。↗

  The field is covered with snow.
• 原はらJLPT N3approx.Common
  nounA broad, general term for open country — field, plain, prairie, even tundra. Its connection to 'moor' is loose, and it is not the precise word for heathery moorland.
  私達わたしたちがよく野球やきゅうをして遊あそんだ原はらは今いますっかり家いえが建て込たてこんでしまった。↗

  The field where we used to play ball is now all built up.

These four words translate only the open-land sense of 'moor', not the verb (to moor a boat): 原野 best suggests wild uncultivated country, 平原 a broad flat plain, 野原 an open field, 原 a loose general term.
