Discover a place (4)
I believe the answer is:
spot
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'discover' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'a place' is the second definition.
('spot' can be a synonym of 'place')
(Other definitions for spot that I've seen before include "Notice; sign of acne" , "Mark - position - perceive" , "See; eruption" , "Sight - site" , "station" .)
