Not even James Bond backs engaging criminal to hunt for burial site (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
sutton hoo
'burial site' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'not even james bond backs engaging criminal to hunt' is the wordplay.
'not even james bond' becomes 'oos' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'backs' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'backed' mean this).
'engaging' indicates putting letters inside.
'criminal' indicates an anagram.
'oos' in reverse letter order is 'soo'.
'to'+'hunt'='tohunt'
'tohunt' anagrammed gives 'uttonh'.
'soo' enclosing 'uttonh' is 'SUTTON HOO'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sutton hoo that I've seen before include "Site of Saxon ship burial" , "where old ship was found in Suffolk" , "Suffolk site of Anglo-Saxon ship burial" , "Ancient burial site" , "Suffolk Saxon ship-burial site" .)
