Club alight: might ash be found there? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woodland

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ash be found there?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'club alight' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'wood' (wood is a kind of club).
'alight' becomes 'land' (I've seen this in another clue).
'wood'+'land'='WOODLAND'

'might' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for woodland that I've seen before include "undeveloped site" , "sylvan scene" , "Area covered with trees and shrubs" , "Forested area" , "deal here maybe?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
