Cruel article found in Bury (8)
I believe the answer is:
inhumane
'cruel' is the definition.
('inhumane' can be similar in meaning to 'cruel')
'article found in bury' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'bury' becomes 'inhume' (I've seen this before).
'an' going within 'inhume' is 'INHUMANE'.
(Other definitions for inhumane that I've seen before include "Not compassionate" , "Heartless" , "Cruel" , "Callous" .)
