Cover for a spell (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

span

This clue is a double definition.

'cover' is the first definition.
(I know that span is a more specific form of the action cover)

'for a spell' is the second definition.
(span of time)

(Other definitions for span that I've seen before include "Distance between bridge abutments" , "Complete duration" , "period of time" , "Measurement taken from an extended hand" , "Section of bridge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
