Aides tut about being found (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

situated

'found' is the definition.
(situating is a kind of finding)

'aides tut about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'aides'+'tut'='aidestut'
'aidestut' is an anagram of 'SITUATED'.

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for situated that I've seen before include "Positioned" , "Located; put into position" , "Placed or located in certain position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
