Hem in (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

enclose

besiege

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hem in</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for besiege that I've seen before include "Surround (a place) in war" , "Surround (a stronghold)" , "Crowd round oppressively" , "Surround (a place) with hostile intent" , "Encircle as a military tactic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Independent.
