Cleverly ties in position (4)
I believe the answer is:
site
'position' is the definition.
(I know that site is a type of position)
'cleverly ties' is the wordplay.
'cleverly' indicates anagramming the letters (a clever or tricky version of the letters).
'ties' is an anagram of 'SITE'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for site that I've seen before include "Somewhere to build, perhaps" , "Building land" , "Ties into building location" , "Position for the building sounds visual" , "Spot, location" .)
