A hero's wrecked and stranded! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashore

'stranded' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a hero's wrecked' is the wordplay.
'wrecked' is an anagram indicator.
'heros' anagrammed gives 'shore'.
'a'+'shore'='ASHORE'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ashore that I've seen before include "On(to) dry land" , "Hoarse (anag)" , "Onto land (from the water)" , "Aground" , "on the coast" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
