Everything carried by well-built helots (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the lot

'everything' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'carried by well-built helots' is the wordplay.
'carried by' indicates a hidden word.
'THE LOT' is hidden within 'well built helots'.

(Other definitions for the lot that I've seen before include "Everything" , "goes under the hammer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
