Hear clang reverberating in northern port (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

archangel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'port' is the definition.
(city and port in Archangelsk oblast, Russia)

'hear clang reverberating in northern' is the wordplay.
'hear clang' anagrams to 'ARCHANGEL'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for archangel that I've seen before include "Port in northern Russia, or senior heavenly messenger" , "Gabriel, for example" , "Divine messenger - Russian port" , "Nag Rachel (anag.)" , "Russian port on the White Sea" .)
