Ross

I believe the answer is:

reactor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'feature of dungeness' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'minister touring a' is the wordplay.
'minister' becomes 'rector' (synonyms).
'touring' is an insertion indicator (touring can mean going round).
'rector' going around 'a' is 'REACTOR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reactor that I've seen before include "nuclear vessel" , "See 3 Down" , "chemical substance!" , "Device to produce energy by nuclear fission" , "Nuclear energy source" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
