Enclose inside second shed first (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shut in

'enclose' is the definition.
('shut in' can be a synonym of 'enclose')

'inside second shed first' is the wordplay.
'inside' becomes 'in' (**).
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'shed' becomes 'hut' (I've seen this before).
'first' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
's'+'hut'='shut'
'in' put after 'shut' is 'SHUT-IN'.

(Another definition for shut in that I've seen is " Enclosed".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
