Have a quick look around Tower (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keep

'tower' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'have a quick look around' is the wordplay.
'have a quick look' becomes 'peek'.
'around' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'peek' reversed gives 'KEEP'.

(Other definitions for keep that I've seen before include "Guard" , "Hold - part of castle" , "Central tower of castle" , "Act as custodian of" , "Retain or care for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
