8 Down is linked to the definition of 29 Across,linked to 38 Across. Hope this isn't too cryptic - don't want to spoil the puzzle for others.

It refers to 38a, and is a definition in Chambers of 29ac. The definition is made up of 8d (indefinite article + 2 words) and 31 d (2 words)

You'll see it under the Chambers' definition of 29ac.
