Pull up outside a very ramshackle place whose occupants have departed (9)
I believe the answer is:
graveyard
'place whose occupants have departed' is the definition.
(departed can mean dead)
'pull up outside a very ramshackle' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'very' is 'rvey' which is present in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'gard' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for graveyard that I've seen before include "'God's acre'" , "Burial ground" , "remains here" , "church ground" , "Cemetery" .)
