Did Lamb write his essays with these enclosures? (5,4)

Ross

sheep pens

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'these enclosures?' is the definition.
(sheep pen is a kind of enclosure)

'did lamb write his essays' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'write' could be 'pen' (synonyms) and 'pen' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
