Great Dane in small village? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hamlet
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'great dane' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'small village?' is the second definition.
(a hamlet is a small settlement)
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for hamlet that I've seen before include "Dramatic prince of Denmark" , "Shakespeare's tragic Danish prince" , "Danish role" , "Small village for Shakespearian prince" , "Tragic figure" .)
