At some distance (4)
I believe the answer is:
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">at some distance</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for afar that I've seen before include "At a distance (poetic)" , "Unusually distant" , "a good way off" , "long way back" , "Many miles away" .)
