Hill in a pastoral area (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tor

'hill' is the definition.
(tor is a kind of hill)

'in a pastoral area' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'TOR' can be found hidden inside 'pastoral area'.

(Other definitions for tor that I've seen before include "feature of Glastonbury" , "Rocky prominence" , "Rot on a hill in Cornwall" , "Pillar of rock" , "Rot on a Cornish hill" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
