Keepsake from barrel I collected (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relic

'keepsake' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'from barrel i collected' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RELIC' is hidden within 'barrel i collected'.

(Other definitions for relic that I've seen before include "precious object" , "Venerated remains" , "Revered object" , "Venerated memento" , "Object surviving from the past" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
