It's arranged near a scene of conflict (5)
I believe the answer is:
arena
'scene of conflict' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'it's arranged near a' is the wordplay.
'it's arranged' indicates an anagram.
'near' anagrammed gives 'aren'.
'aren'+'a'='ARENA'
(Other definitions for arena that I've seen before include "Area of combat" , "Engagement ring" , "Central area in sports stadium" , "Stadium - battlefield" , "battlefieId" .)
