Foxhole found inside near Thurrock (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earth

'foxhole' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'found inside near thurrock' is the wordplay.
'found' indicates a hidden word.
'EARTH' is hidden in the letters of 'inside near thurrock'.

(Other definitions for earth that I've seen before include "Mud" , "The 3rd planet from the sun" , "Dirty hole" , "Heart (anag)" , "Soil; ground terminal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
