Carried round Pacific island (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

borneo

'pacific island' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'carried round' is the wordplay.
'carried' becomes 'borne' (I've seen this before).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'borne'+'o'='BORNEO'

(Other definitions for borneo that I've seen before include "Largest island of Asia" , "Island, part of the Malay archipelago" , "Island shared by Malaysia and Indonesia" , "Largest Asian island" , "Large Pacific island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
