Range of old shelter (6)
I believe the answer is:
extent
'range' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'old shelter' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'shelter' becomes 'tent' (a tent is a kind of shelter).
'ex'+'tent'='EXTENT'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for extent that I've seen before include "Degree - amount - scope" , "Area of coverage" , "Area something covers" , "A cake; last word of Macbeth" , "Degree or spread" .)
