Modern centre destroyed (6)
I believe the answer is:
recent
'modern' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'centre destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' indicates an anagram.
'centre' with letters rearranged gives 'RECENT'.
(Other definitions for recent that I've seen before include "Shortly before the present" , "Having happened not long ago" , "Having been done lately" , "Not long ago, quuite new" , "Latest - current" .)
