Carter trip East causes row (7)
I believe the answer is:
terrace
'row' is the definition.
(I know that terrace is a type of terrace)
'carter trip east' is the wordplay.
'trip' indicates an anagram.
'east' becomes 'e' (synonyms).
'carter' anagrammed gives 'terrac'.
'terrac'+'e'='TERRACE'
'causes' is the link.
(Other definitions for terrace that I've seen before include "Row of attached houses" , "Continuous row of houses" , "Stadium's standing area" , "Row of houses in one block" , "Veranda" .)
