A little sand? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grain

This clue is a double definition.

'a little' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'sand?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for grain that I've seen before include "Structure of wood" , "Small hard particle, of rice perhaps" , "bit of corn" , "Cereals" , "Small piece of sand" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
