Curator cautious about neck ornament (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torc

'neck ornament' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'curator cautious about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates a hidden word (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'TORC' is hidden in the letters of 'curator cautious'.

(Other definitions for torc that I've seen before include "Celtic metal neck-ring" , "Metal armband worn by Ancient Britons" , "Rigid circular necklace" , "One gets into a twist" , "Metal neck ornament of ancient Britons" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
