Bishop abandons tall ladies in low dome (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

igloo

'low dome' is the definition.
(small dome-shaped shelter)

'bishop abandons tall ladies' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (abbreviation used in chess).
'abandons' is a deletion indicator.
'tall' becomes 'big' (associated in meaning).
'ladies' becomes 'loo' ('the ladies' is a type of loo or toilet).
'big' with 'b' taken away is 'ig'.
'ig'+'loo'='IGLOO'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for igloo that I've seen before include "Eskimo's dwelling" , "Inuit building" , "Innuit dwelling" , "A house up north" , "Greenland dwelling" .)
