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

'chap places' is the definition.
'Rowan' can be an answer for 'chap'. I'm not certain of the 'places' bit.

'article on line' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (English indefinite article).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'line' becomes 'row' (a row or line of things).
'an' put after 'row' is 'ROWAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rowan that I've seen before include "source of berries" , "Atkinson or Williams" , "Tree with orange-red berry-like fruits" , "-- Williams, theologian" , "Man" .)
