Comments on the clue
1.A STRONGHOLD is not the same as a STRONG HOLD
2.Borders is OK as an indicator, but disguising it as 'marches' is not OK!
3.Marches is great, but I can’t buy stronghold for strong hold.
4.stronghold doesn't equate to 'strong hold'
5.NELSON doesn't mean "in a stronghold": part-of-speech mismatch.
6.Besieged as an indicator to remove and replace content doesn’t work
