Ancient Mideast siege site (6)

masada

'ancient mideast siege site' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for masada that I've seen before include "Jewish stronghold by Dead Sea" , "Jewish Dead Sea fortress" , "Dead Sea fortress besieged by the Romans" .)
