Closed in on (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neared

'closed in on' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for neared that I've seen before include "Approached, came close" , "Drew closer to" , "Approached, drew close" , "Drew nigh" , "Got closer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the LA Times.
