Go with soil to build domed dwellings (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

igloos

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'domed dwellings' is the definition.
'igloos' can be an answer for 'dwellings' (I have seen 'Arctic dwellings' mean 'igloos' so perhaps 'dwellings' could also mean 'igloos'). I'm not sure about the 'domed' bit.

'go with soil to build' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to build' indicates anagramming the letters.
'go' after 'soil' is 'soilgo'.
'soilgo' anagrammed gives 'IGLOOS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for igloos that I've seen before include "Dome-shaped Inuit houses" , "polar residences" , "Arctic homes" , "Houses of snow and ice" , "Housing" .)
