Bog where gold is found in quantity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

morass

'bog' is the definition.
(morass is a kind of bog)

'gold is found in quantity' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'is found in' is an insertion indicator.
'quantity' becomes 'mass' (mass is a kind of quantity**).
'or' placed within 'mass' is 'MORASS'.

'where' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for morass that I've seen before include "Slough, bog" , "Tract of swampy land" , "Confusion" , "Bog or swamp" , "Muddled situation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
