Gorge last of curry brought in by member of the clergy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canyon

'gorge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'last of curry brought in by member of the clergy' is the wordplay.
'last of' suggests the final letters.
'brought in by' is an insertion indicator.
'member of the clergy' becomes 'canon' (I've seen this before).
The last letter of 'curry' is 'y'.
'y' placed into 'canon' is 'CANYON'.

(Other definitions for canyon that I've seen before include "A deep gorge with a river, may be Grand" , "(N. Am.) ravine" , "Narrow steep-sided valley" , "geographical feature" , "Big rift" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
