At that point in lead gets beaten (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leathered

'beaten' is the definition.

'at that point in lead' is the wordplay.
'at that point' becomes 'there' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'there' inserted inside 'lead' is 'LEATHERED'.

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for leathered that I've seen before include "beaten?" , "Thrashed with a strap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
