Alfie found in Siberian place of mine perhaps
I believe the answer is:
coal field
'mine perhaps' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'alfie found in siberian place' is the wordplay.
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'siberian place' becomes 'cold' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'alfie' inserted within 'cold' is 'COAL FIELD'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
