Cut off in berth (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dock

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cut off' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'berth' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dock that I've seen before include "Cut < sort of brief" , "Boat mooringd" , "Quay" , "Remove or shorten an animal's tail" , "Cut short; coarse weed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
