A measure of restraint (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chain

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a measure' is the first definition.
(unit equal to 22 yards)

'restraint' is the second definition.
(I know that chain is a type of restraint)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for chain that I've seen before include "Mountain range" , "Series of things linked together" , "distance for a run?" , "a sort of letter" , "Group of atoms" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
