Hurt without right, you need shelter (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hut

'shelter' is the definition.
(I know that hut is a type of shelter)

'hurt without right' is the wordplay.
'without' suggests deleting specific letters.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'hurt' with 'r' taken out is 'HUT'.

'you need' is the link.

(Other definitions for hut that I've seen before include "'Shack, hovel (3)'" , "Small shelter as for watchman" , "Small crude shelter" , "Small crude dwelling" , "Small structure as for watchman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
