Caught primate at headland (4)
I believe the answer is:
cape
'headland' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'caught primate' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'primate' becomes 'ape' (large primate).
'c'+'ape'='CAPE'
'at' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cape that I've seen before include "Cod, for example" , "Cloak, robe" , "Florida space flight centre" , "Headland - garment" , "Garment - promontory" .)
