'site for battle' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'too fenny unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'too'+'fenny'='toofenny'
'toofenny' with letters rearranged gives 'FONTENOY'.

'is' is the link.
