An entrance in stone (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agate

'stone' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an entrance' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'entrance' becomes 'gate' (I've seen this before**).
'a'+'gate'='AGATE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for agate that I've seen before include "Hard stone with concentric bands of colour" , "Precious stone" , "Quartz variety" , "Decorative stone" , "Variegated chalcedony" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
