Amount of land for sacred enclosure (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acre

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

'amount of land' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sacred enclosure' is the wordplay.
'ACRE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for acre that I've seen before include "0.405 of a hectare" , "Israeli seaport" , "Muslims here besieged" , "marine location in Israel" , "Persistent tendency" .)
