Thanks, Malone. I’m clearly feeling generous this morning!

Old dead (anag 1,6)

A DODDLE?

Which crossword was that from?

Just a comment on 2767 ......

Oh, that went over my head!

It took me a while to complete because I second-guessed the theme but then cocked up some of the unclued entries before I completed the clued entries.

Agreed - it is a cryptic indication though not a standard two part clue.

13d. Any hints?

A theme name which derives from an old unit of land measurement which is actually in Chambers as…

“ A bovate or one-eighth of a carucate of ploughland, the share attributed to each ox in a team of eight (averaging about 13 acres) “

Thanks Jono. Couldn't see it when googling relevant areas. Very helpful to find it in Chambers.
