Hotels constructed over land (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lesotho

'land' is the definition.
(Lesotho is an example)

'hotels constructed over' is the wordplay.
'constructed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'hotels' is an anagram of 'lesoth'.
'lesoth'+'o'='LESOTHO'

(Other definitions for lesotho that I've seen before include "South African kingdom" , "Kingdom surrounded by South Africa" , "Country entirely within South Africa" , "Trickery" , "Maseru is this Kingdom's capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
