Filled in footmarks at Edgbaston (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sated

'filled' is the definition.
('sate' can be a synonym of 'fill')

'in footmarks at edgbaston' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SATED' is hidden within 'footmarks at edgbaston'.

(Other definitions for sated that I've seen before include "given more than enough" , "Replete" , "Fully satisfied" , "Fed up" , "Stuffed, having eaten to the full" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
