Area around, eg, a cathedral (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

precinct

(Other definitions for precinct that I've seen before include "Enclosed space around a building" , "Area with set boundaries (for pedestrians, say)" , "Enclosed area as around a college" , "Area around a cathedral or church" , "Shopping centre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
