Guards so large doing turns (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gaolers

'guards' is the definition.
(alternative spelling of 'jailers')

'so large doing turns' is the wordplay.
'doing turns' indicates anagramming the letters (letters turn or move around).
'so'+'large'='solarge'
'solarge' is an anagram of 'GAOLERS'.

(Another definition for gaolers that I've seen is " Prison warders".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
