In ruins (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

derelict

'in ruins' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for derelict that I've seen before include "Fallen into ruin" , "Deserted and dilapidated" , "Abandoned, neglected" , "Abandoned and falling into ruin" , "Left to fall into ruin like abandoned house" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
