'reservation' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enclave that I've seen before include "pocket" , "Cultural group embedded in a larger one" , "Small territory completely surrounded by another one" , "Group differing in ethnicity from surrounding people" , "ghetto" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
