Outhouses housing right bits (6)
I believe the answer is:
shreds
'bits' is the definition.
'outhouses housing right' is the wordplay.
'outhouses' becomes 'sheds' (I've seen this before).
'housing' indicates putting letters inside.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'sheds' enclosing 'r' is 'SHREDS'.
(Other definitions for shreds that I've seen before include "Small pieces as of torn paper" , "Torn pieces and tatters" , "Rags, tattered pieces" , "Tears into tiny pieces" , "Scraps - fragments (of evidence?)" .)
