'bombed' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'moorland accommodation' is the wordplay.
'moorland' becomes 'fell' (fell can mean a moor).
'accommodation' becomes 'flat' (type of residence).
'fell'+'flat'='FELL FLAT'
