Comments on the clue
1.Lovely idea – but I don't like underground for under ground
2.Nice definition
3.Great definition, but "underground, in pieces" effectively asks solvers to rewrite the clue before solving it, which is unreasonable
4.Ingenious and well-constructed
5.Love the ref. 'In pieces' seems forced.
