Gets bastion destroyed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obtains

'gets' is the definition.
(obtaining is a kind of getting)

'bastion destroyed' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' indicates an anagram.
'bastion' with letters rearranged gives 'OBTAINS'.

(Other definitions for obtains that I've seen before include "Gets" , "Authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
