hatch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wall?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'thatcherite hole in' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HATCH' can be found hidden inside 'thatcherite hole'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hatch that I've seen before include "Devise" , "Sit on eggs" , "Cook up" , "Movable cover on ship's deck - batten it down" , "Enter the world" .)
