Article about place recalled antelope (5)
I believe the answer is:
nyala
'antelope' is the definition.
(nyala is a kind of antelope)
'article about place recalled' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'place' becomes 'lay' (laying is a kind of placing).
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards.
'an' going around 'lay' is 'alayn'.
'alayn' written backwards gives 'NYALA'.
(Other definitions for nyala that I've seen before include "beast" , "Spiral-horned antelope" , "South African antelope - Sudanese city" , "crested antelope" , "South African native" .)
