Fellow reported undamaged access to below (7)
I believe the answer is:
manhole
'access to below' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'fellow reported undamaged' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man).
'reported' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'undamaged' becomes 'whole' (I've seen this before).
'whole' sounds like 'hole'.
'man'+'hole'='MANHOLE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manhole that I've seen before include "Opening with a cover giving access underground" , "Street access cover" , "restricted opening" , "Drain cover" , "access to water supply?" .)
