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

'this will be subjected to shelling' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for peapod that I've seen is " Case of leguminous vegetable".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
