Chess castle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rook

'chess castle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rook that I've seen before include "Gregarious black bird" , "Ringing in the ears" , "Man in game" , "Fleece - bird" , "Swindle (colloq.); bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Penny Press, the Universal, the Newsday and The Times.
