I believe the answer is:

uncommon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remarkable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gallic figure on grassland' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'figure' could be 'c' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'c' is present in the answer.
'on' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uncommon that I've seen before include "Infrequent" , "Atypical" , "Exceptional" , "Not usual, remarkable" , "Not normal or usual" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
