Finish at the outer extremities of a witch's place (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endor

'a witch's place' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'finish at the outer extremities' is the wordplay.
'finish' becomes 'end' (come to an end).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'extremities' means to remove the middle letters.
'outer' with its centre removed is 'or'.
'end'+'or'='ENDOR'

'of' acts as a link.

(Another definition for endor that I've seen is " Witch of - - (OT)".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
