Bloke is carved in monument (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obelisk

'monument' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bloke is carved' is the wordplay.
'carved' is an anagram indicator.
'bloke'+'is'='blokeis'
'blokeis' is an anagram of 'OBELISK'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for obelisk that I've seen before include "Tapering square pillar" , "Cleopatra's Needle, perhaps?" , "Monument with four sides and tapering top" , "Stone pillar tapering towards a point" , "Pyramidal monument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
