Hunted animal in stone pit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quarry

I believe this is a triple definition!

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

'animal' is the second definition.
(quarry is a kind of animal)

'in' acts as a link.

'stone pit' is the third definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for quarry that I've seen before include "Something hunted" , "Source of stone" , "blasted site" , "Excavated pit" , "Hunted animal - excavation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
