From Project Gutenberg

In Devon a corn-field, which has been cut and cleared, is called an "arrish."

From Project Gutenberg

Putting all these facts together, I am inclined to think that "arrish" must first mean "land for tillage;" and that the connexion of the word with "gleaning" or "gleaners" is the effect of association, and therefore of later date.

From Project Gutenberg

But it must be observed, there is a difference between "arrish" and "harrisers."

From Project Gutenberg

And again, while I am quite familiar with the word "arrish," I never heard "arrishers," and I believe it is unknown in Devonshire.
