Dorothy keeping record in warehouse? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depot

'warehouse?' is the definition.
(warehouse is a kind of depot)

'dorothy keeping record' is the wordplay.
'dorothy' becomes 'dot' (nickname for someone called Dorothy).
'keeping' is an insertion indicator.
'record' becomes 'ep'.
'dot' going around 'ep' is 'DEPOT'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for depot that I've seen before include "Bus garage" , "Storage place" , "Bus station in the US" , "bus terminus" , "Storehouse, repository" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
