Heavy base (6)

I believe the answer is:

plinth

(Other definitions for plinth that I've seen before include "Block forming base of column or statue" , "Block or slab forming base of column" , "Base supporting a statue" , "Architectural support or base" , "Support for statue or column" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
