Estoril's piece of high ground (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tor

'high ground' is the definition.

'estoril's piece' is the wordplay.
'piece' indicates a hidden word.
'TOR' can be found hidden inside 'estoril'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tor that I've seen before include "Rot on a hill in Devon" , "High, rocky, bare hill" , "Pillar of rock" , "rise" , "fell" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
