Danes turning heads (5)
I believe the answer is:
deans
'heads' is the definition.
(dean is a kind of head)
'danes turning' is the wordplay.
'turning' is an anagram indicator.
'danes' with letters rearranged gives 'DEANS'.
(Another definition for deans that I've seen is " chief judges".)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
