Honeyed wine old wife found in paddock (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meadow

'paddock' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'honeyed wine old wife' is the wordplay.
'honeyed wine' becomes 'mead'.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'wife' becomes 'w'.
'mead'+'o'+'w'='MEADOW'

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for meadow that I've seen before include "Grassed field" , "A field of rich grass" , "area of grassland" , "In rural location" , "Grassy field" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
