Cry at broken table (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bleat

'cry' is the definition.
(bleat is a kind of cry)

'broken table' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'table' is an anagram of 'BLEAT'.

'at' is the link.

(Other definitions for bleat that I've seen before include "Table (anag.)" , "carp" , "Sheep's weak cry" , "Complain; sheep's cry" , "Sheep's call" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
