Sunken vagrant pestered right away (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
deep-set
'sunken' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'vagrant pestered right away' is the wordplay.
'vagrant' indicates an anagram (vagrant can mean wandering around).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'away' is a deletion indicator.
'pestered' with 'r' taken out is 'pesteed'.
'pesteed' with letters rearranged gives 'DEEP-SET'.
(Another definition for deep-set that I've seen is " Firmly embedded".)
