High part of a memorial obelisk (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lob

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

'high part' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'of a memorial obelisk' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LOB' can be found hidden inside 'memorial obelisk'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lob that I've seen before include "Toss" , "Throw in high, slow arc" , "Hit a ball in a high arc" , "Elevated shot" , "Lofted ball" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
