European relic Dane wrecked (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icelander

'european' is the definition.
(Icelander is an example)

'relic dane wrecked' is the wordplay.
'wrecked' is an anagram indicator.
'relic'+'dane'='relicdane'
'relicdane' with letters rearranged gives 'ICELANDER'.

(Other definitions for icelander that I've seen before include "Nationality of citizen of Reykjavik" , "Reykjavik native?" , "Foreigner" , "Eg a person from Reykjavik" , "National" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
