Solid State
In a solid lattice, the cation has left a lattice site and is located at an interstitial position. Such a lattice defect is called:

Subjective Type
Why is Frenkel defect found in AgCl ?
Solution
The frenkel defect is favoured by a large difference in size between the positive and negative ions. The Metal cations are generally smaller than the anions which occupy the vacant lattice site or hole.
Frenkel defect is found is AgCl because Ag+ is small enough in size so as to fit into interstitial vacant positions. Thus due to large difference in the size of ions Ag+ and Cl-, Ag+ occupies voids.
