Quite a few still to do and I'm stuck! Explanations as to how you arrived at the answer please......
A) One retired, retreating from a carnivore (4) D?E?
B) Turn of hand and turn of string (3) ??P
C) A hundred anonymously locked into vigil (9) ??P?N???E
D) Mass of sand was deposited in part of river, barring entry (7) ??T???H
E) Ape, behold the man? Not half, twice! (4) E???. Is it ECHO? If so, why?
F) Halter cut up in a minute or two (4) ???N
G) Given a place in the cabinet? (5) F?L?D. Surely not FILED as in filing cabinet????

G filed sounds fine
F soon noos(e) reversed

3. Echo is correct

The phrase "Ecce Homo" not half gives ECHO

D outwash

Was inside (m)outh

D. OUTWASH which could be a mass of sand deposited by a river.

Part of a river is MOUTH, Barring entry + delete the M

WAS inserted to give OUTWASH

a- anonymously + pent - locked into wake - vigil - wapentake - a hundred or division of land?

Just A, B and F to do now!

F is done - soon noos(e) reversed

b. LAP? As in 1. Turn of hand = to lap ie smooth down something.
2. Lap as in overlap when winding eg thread

Mmm.I have "W" as the first letter!
