County (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

shire

essex

'county' is the definition.
(term for a county, eg Hampshire, Warwickshire etc)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for shire that I've seen before include "Berks" , "Breed of draught horse" , "English county" , "County (esp. in England)" , "Heavy horse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Mirror, The Times and The Telegraph.
