Halt! Sacred ground where many worship (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cathedrals

'where many worship' is the definition.
(a cathedral is a place of worship)

'halt sacred ground' is the wordplay.
'ground' indicates anagramming the letters ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'halt'+'sacred'='haltsacred'
'haltsacred' with letters rearranged gives 'CATHEDRALS'.

(Another definition for cathedrals that I've seen is " religious places".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
