I believe the answer is:

enclave

(Other definitions for enclave that I've seen before include "Enclosed piece of territory" , "Part of country surrounded by foreign territory" , "Isolated cultural group" , "Isolated territory enclosed by valence" , "Territory enclosed within another one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
