Vestiges (6)
I believe the answer is:
traces
'vestiges' is the definition.
(I know this)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for traces that I've seen before include "Finds; hints" , "Sketches the outline of" , "Kick these over to be insubordinate or reckless" , "Slight indications on parts of the harness" , "Vestiges (that may be kicked over?)" .)
