Given 1 or 2 types of mine? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pitied

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'given 1' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'2 types of mine?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'mine?' could be 'pit' (down the pit) and 'pit' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pitied that I've seen before include "Commiserated" , "Tie dip (anag.)" , "Felt compassion toward" , "Felt sorry for, sympathised with" .)
