recompacted

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

'again consolidated' is the definition.
The definition suggests a past participle verb which matches the answer.

'agreement to put in thatching' is the wordplay.
'agreement' becomes 'compact' (compact can mean an agreement).
'to put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'thatching' becomes 'reed' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'compact' put into 'reed' is 'RECOMPACTED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
