Figure skating centre rebuilt here (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

three

'figure' is the definition.
(three is a number or figure)

'skating centre rebuilt here' is the wordplay.
'centre' says to take the centre.
'rebuilt' indicates anagramming the letters.
The centre of 'skating' is 't'.
'here' anagrammed gives 'hree'.
't'+'hree'='THREE'

(Other definitions for three that I've seen before include "One, one, one" , "Cardinal number" , "Snooker score for potting green ball" , "Start to count back, briefly" , "Feet in 3 Down" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
