Hunted animal in stone pit (6)
I believe the answer is:
quarry
I believe this is a triple definition!
'hunted' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'animal' is the second definition.
(quarry is a kind of animal)
'in' acts as a link.
'stone pit' is the third definition.

(Other definitions for quarry that I've seen before include "Something hunted" , "Source of stone" , "blasted site" , "Excavated pit" , "Hunted animal - excavation" .)
