Hut, shanty (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shack

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'hut' is the first definition.
(I know that hut can be written as shack)

'shanty' is the second definition.
(I know that shanty can be written as shack)

(Other definitions for shack that I've seen before include "Crudely built hut" , "Rough hut or cabin" , "grim lodgings" , "Rough dwelling" , "building made of wood?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
