Metal outside in that place struck with force (9)
I believe the answer is:
leathered
'struck with force' is the definition.
(leather can mean to hit hard)
'metal outside in that place' is the wordplay.
'metal' becomes 'lead' (lead is a kind of metal).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'in that place' becomes 'there' (over there).
'lead' enclosing 'there' is 'LEATHERED'.
(Other definitions for leathered that I've seen before include "beaten?" , "Thrashed with a strap" .)
