Place of confinement (4)
I believe the answer is:
cage
'place of confinement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for cage that I've seen before include "Coop" , "Tffhe goal in ice hockey" , "he used to write down scores" , "Composer working in silence" , "Enclose with bars" .)
