A harvest unfinished in field (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

area

'field' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a harvest unfinished' is the wordplay.
'harvest' becomes 'reap' ('reap' can be a synonym of 'harvest').
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
'reap' with its last letter taken away is 'rea'.
'a'+'rea'='AREA'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for area that I've seen before include "Expanse or neighbourhood" , "Geographical region" , "Field -- expanse" , "part of town" , "Region, zone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
