Was dwelling given new walls? (7)
I believe the answer is:
resided
'was dwelling' is the definition.
(to dwell is to reside somewhere)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resided that I've seen before include "Sojourned" , "Lived" , "stayed" , "Dwelt" , "Abode" .)
