In a low place he is found clinging (8)
I believe the answer is:
adhesive
'clinging' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'in a low place he is' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'low place' becomes 'dive' (I've seen this in another clue).
'he is' becomes 'he's'.
'a'+'dive'='adive'
'adive' going around 'hes' is 'ADHESIVE'.
'found' is the link.
(Other definitions for adhesive that I've seen before include "Substance that sticks" , "very clingy" , "What a sticker" , "Tending to stick" , "Stuff that sticks" .)
