Cave found in verdant region (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antre

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

'in verdant region' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ANTRE' is hidden within 'verdant region'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for antre that I've seen before include "Cave used by poets" , "Formerly, a cavern" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
