Bury in the hinterland (5)

I believe the answer is:

inter

'bury' is the definition.
(to inter is to put into the ground)

'in the hinterland' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'INTER' is hidden in the letters of 'hinterland'.

(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "Bury - Milan football club" , "Prefix meaning between or among" , "Plant" , "I rent (anag.)" , "Milan FC" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
