Defensive enclosure (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stockade

(Other definitions for stockade that I've seen before include "Protective fence of upright stakes" , "Wooden barrier" , "Barred enclosure" , "Cod steak consumed in enclosure as for military prisoners" , "Cod steak (anag.)" .)

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