'something made' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'cafe tart peculiar' is the wordplay.
'peculiar' indicates an anagram (a peculiar or strange ordering of the letters).
'cafe'+'tart'='cafetart'
'cafetart' anagrammed gives 'ARTEFACT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for artefact that I've seen before include "Article of human workmanship" , "Item made by human" , "Man-made item" , "not natural" , "Made object" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
