High-rise accommodation for workers? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anthill

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

'accommodation for workers?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'high-rise' is the wordplay.
'high' becomes 'ant' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rise' becomes 'hill' (I've seen this before).
'ant'+'hill'='ANTHILL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anthill that I've seen before include "Mound of insects" , "Scene of great activity" , "There's much work to be done here" , "Mountain (of insects)" , "Nest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
