Accommodation for animals? List on board (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stables

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

'accommodation for animals?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'list on board' is the wordplay.
'list' becomes 'table' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'board' becomes 'ss' (I've seen this in other clues).
'table' placed into 'ss' is 'STABLES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stables that I've seen before include "Stalls for horses" , "Equine establishments" , "Where Arabs may be" , "Arabs might be found here" , "Equine accommodation" .)

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