Crossword Genius

Damaged urinals getting closed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insular

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

'damaged urinals' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'urinals' anagrammed gives 'INSULAR'.

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for insular that I've seen before include "Shunning company" , "Isolated -- urinals (anag)" , "Run sail (anag.)" , "Lacking contact with others" , "Circumscribed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
