Location containing a large and stately mansion (6)
I believe the answer is:
palace
'stately mansion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'location containing a' is the wordplay.
'location' becomes 'place' (a location is a place).
'containing' indicates putting letters inside.
'place' enclosing 'a' is 'PALACE'.
'large and' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for palace that I've seen before include "Locality round a monarch's official residence" , "See 16" , "imposing building" , "Royal house" , "Regal mansion" .)
