The tip has become a place under fire (6)
I believe the answer is:
ashpit
'a place under fire' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'the tip has become' is the wordplay.
'become' is an anagram indicator.
'tip'+'has'='tiphas'
'tiphas' with letters rearranged gives 'ASHPIT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ashpit that I've seen is " Rubbish site".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
