Male carrying old gardening implement (3)
I believe the answer is:
hoe
'gardening implement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'male carrying old' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'he' going around 'o' is 'HOE'.
(Other definitions for hoe that I've seen before include "Romanians (anag) -- European enclave" , "Garden tool with a flat blade" , "Weeding implement" , "Gardening tool" , "Weed" .)
