'presumably the one running his eye over the hill checking places of interest for what might' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'be outstanding' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'be' could be 'am' and 'am' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
