They're the last to go to the wall (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
coping stones
'they're the last' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'to go to the wall' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
'go' could be 'ping' (pinging is a kind of going) and 'ping' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
