Ross

I believe the answer is:

fortress

'fortified defensive structure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fortress that I've seen before include "Perhaps keep" , "Place that's secure" , "Protective structure" , "Castle" , "Military stronghold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
