About sexual partner with depression: the result of earthmoving occurrences (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clay pit

'the result of earthmoving occurrences' is the definition.
(pit created by extracting clay)

'about sexual partner with depression' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for circa).
'sexual partner' becomes 'lay' (lay can mean a sexual partner).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'depression' becomes 'pit' (pit is a kind of depression).
'c'+'lay'+'pit'='CLAY-PIT'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
