Hens one’s let free to move after all (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonetheless

'after all' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'hens one's let free to move' is the wordplay.
'free to move' is an anagram indicator (letters move freely).
'hens'+'ones'+'let'='hensoneslet'
'hensoneslet' anagrammed gives 'NONETHELESS'.

(Other definitions for nonetheless that I've seen before include "Notwithstanding" , "in spit of that" , "However" , "In spite of that" , "Despite that" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
