A camp in the clearing (10)
I believe the answer is:
settlement
This clue is a double definition.
'a camp' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'the clearing' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for settlement that I've seen before include "New community" , "Place where a community is established" , "Official agreement" , "local community" , "Dispute-resolving agreement" .)
