An oval isle in legend? (6)
I believe the answer is:
avalon
'isle in legend?' is the definition.
'avalon' can be an answer for 'isle' (I have seen 'Mythical isle' mean 'avalon' so perhaps 'isle' could also mean 'avalon'). I am not sure about the 'in legend?' bit.
'an oval' is the wordplay.
'an oval' can be anagrammed to 'AVALON'.
Though, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for avalon that I've seen before include "Isle of Celtic myth" , "Place where King Arthur was buried" , "Place where King Arthur was brought after death" , "Isle of the Blessed in Arthurian legend" , "Arthur's Seat" .)
