Witch trial town (5)
I believe the answer is:
salem
'witch trial town' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for salem that I've seen before include "Capital of Oregon, USA" , "Witch trial site (Mass.)" , "Meals (anag.)" , "US town famous for its witch trials" , "Location of US witch trials" .)
