Bury in central Battersea (5)

I believe the answer is:

inter

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

'in central battersea' is the wordplay.
'central' indicates the central letters.
The central letters of 'battersea' are 'ter'.
'in'+'ter'='INTER'

(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "top Italian side" , "Bury a body - in the middle?" , "Inhume" , "Football Club seen in Milan" , "Put into the ground" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
