Heads Danes off (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deans

'heads' is the definition.
(dean is a kind of head)

'danes off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'danes' is an anagram of 'DEANS'.

(Another definition for deans that I've seen is " chief judges".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
