Searches the outhouses around the Nag's Head (5)
I believe the answer is:
hunts
'searches the outhouses' is the definition.
'hunts' can be an answer for 'searches' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'the outhouses' bit.
'around the nag's head' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'nag's head' becomes 'huns' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
't' inserted inside 'huns' is 'HUNTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hunts that I've seen before include "Traditional county" , "country pursuits" , "Pursues wild animals for sport" , "Chases and kills (prey)" .)
