Bleak, devoid of life (6)

I believe the answer is:

barren

(Other definitions for barren that I've seen before include "Infertile, unable to grow things" , "Unproductive of life" , "Not fertile or productive" , "Not producing vegetation or offspring" , "Sterile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
