Contents of cask — raw lubricant — tipped over ramparts (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulwarks

'ramparts' is the definition.
('bulwark' can be a synonym of 'rampart')

'contents of cask raw lubricant tipped over' is the wordplay.
'contents of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'tipped over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'skrawlub' is hidden in the letters of 'cask raw lubricant'.
'skrawlub' in reverse letter order is 'BULWARKS'.

(Another definition for bulwarks that I've seen is " Walls built as defences".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
