Buried shot inside stronghold (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forgot

'buried' is the definition.
('forget' can be a synonym of 'bury')

'shot inside stronghold' is the wordplay.
'shot' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'inside' is an insertion indicator.
'stronghold' becomes 'fort' (I've seen this before).
'go' inserted into 'fort' is 'FORGOT'.

(Other definitions for forgot that I've seen before include "Failed to recall" , "Left behind" , "Failed to remember" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
