A lot of mutinous old heads (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shedload

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

'a lot' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'mutinous old heads' is the wordplay.
'mutinous' indicates an anagram.
'old'+'heads'='oldheads'
'oldheads' anagrammed gives 'SHEDLOAD'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shedload that I've seen before include "Myriad" , "a ton" , "Lots - old heads (anag)" , "a lot of it" , "legion" .)
