Trough location (3)
I believe the answer is:
sty
'trough location' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for sty that I've seen before include "Hog house" , "Pig home or eye sore" , "Animal pen" , "Porcine pen" , "Eye ailment or pig's home" .)
