A short length in Imperial measure (4)

I believe the answer is:

inch

(Other definitions for inch that I've seen before include "Creep, edge" , "Crawl; imperial measurement" , "Small measurement unit of distance" , "Move along slowly" , "Progress slowly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
