ninean?

[scorpiojo]

Niners?

[shoota]

Is it not an anagram of 'need an'?

[factor-fiction]

Does the answer have to be a Scottish field?

I'm confused

[Captain2]

That's my view as well shoota - but can't find a word that has a definition. Perhaps we need OED or Chambers?

Nandee?

Factor Scottish Field is the name of the Magazine.

[johnT]

I think I've got it but thanks all

Need an altered one, less than ten
AN (needed) + I (altered one) + NIN (less than ten)
so I think it's NINIAN

[factor-fiction]

I only suggested Ninian because it's an altered NIN +AN +1, and because it's a Park (I thought answer was field)

[factor-fiction]

I mean an altered NINE= NIn +1+AN
But it was a bit weak. And where's the definition?

[johnT]

Thanks factor-fiction but nothing to do with magazines name - it's cryptic enough
Since initially posting I think I've sorted that the 5th letter is A. So letters are N _ N _ A _
Can't find any obvious candidates except NINIAN base on previously mentions reasons from the clue.

Thanks all

if your 1st N is wrong then ENNEAD (anagram of need+an) is a group of 9

I agree with Bibblebum.
I can see no definition on ninean/Ninian in the clue

[factor-fiction]

Sorry, bibblebuB
