trafalgar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'battle site' is the definition.
'trafalgar' can be an answer for 'battle' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'site' bit.

'trump picked up seaweed close to major' is the wordplay.
'trump' becomes 'fart' (both can mean flatulence).
'picked up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'seaweed' becomes 'alga' (singular form of 'algae').
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the 'close' to the word).
The last letter of 'major' is 'r'.
'fart' back-to-front is 'traf'.
'traf'+'alga'+'r'='TRAFALGAR'

Can you help me to learn more?
