Fragmented hillside rock (5)

I believe the answer is:

scree

(Other definitions for scree that I've seen before include "Mass of loose rocks at the base of a cliff" , "Steep, stony slope" , "Stony hillside" , "Sloping mass of loose rock at the base of a cliff" , "Loose shifting stones" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
