county

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">shire</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for county that I've seen before include "Local government district" , "Local government division" , "Unit into which country is divided for local government" , "Unit of local administration" , "Shire" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Independent and The Telegraph.
