The defintion is “fields”. Lea-rigs are unploughed fields. An anagram of LEA-RIGS is ALGIERS, which is of course the capital of ALGERIA. The grid entry for the themed answers was an anagram of the country, and therefore in this case was REGALIA.

I didn’t see any significance in the layout of the highlighted squares.

Hope that helps.

Very tough, I thought. One of the problems I had was 22D: the final entry was REGALIA, I now learn. The clue was this:
A girl’s staggering across English fields (7)
and I had some checking letters … anyway I couldn’t figure it out.
The knight’s tour at the end – I’ve drawn it in the grid.. It looks like a boxing glove on a piece of string. Is it meant to be a hand of friendship, or a country outline (Italy?) or nothing at all?
