'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bury processed dung inside' is the wordplay.
'processed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'inside' indicates putting letters inside.
'dung' with letters rearranged gives 'gund'.
'bury' going around 'gund' is 'BURGUNDY'.
