Girl keeping record in warehouse (5)
I believe the answer is:
depot
'warehouse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'girl keeping record' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'dot' (**).
'keeping' indicates putting letters inside.
'record' becomes 'ep'.
'dot' placed around 'ep' is 'DEPOT'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for depot that I've seen before include "(Military) store" , "Storehouse or main bus station (5)" , "Depository for goods" , "Bus station or warehouse" , "Storage base" .)
