Cylindrical bottle insert, often (4)

I believe the answer is:

cork

(Other definitions for cork that I've seen before include "Irish city or county" , "Stopper - Irish port" , "Irish port - something in a wine bottle?" , "Irish county - bottle stopper" , "Stopper; Irish city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
