Hold up pen (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stall

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'hold up' is the first definition.
(stalling is a kind of holding up)

'pen' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stall that I've seen before include "Cowshed or stable" , "Booth; prevaricate" , "Equivocate" , "Block" , "Enclosure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
