Feeling over in market, disordered place (5-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mare's-nest

'disordered place' is the definition.
(mare's-nest can mean a confused or untidy place)

'feeling over in market' is the wordplay.
'feeling' becomes 'sense' (feeling can mean a sensation).
'over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'market' becomes 'mart' (synonyms).
'sense' reversed gives 'esnes'.
'esnes' inserted into 'mart' is 'MARES-NEST'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
