Layer above bedrock (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subsoil

(Other definitions for subsoil that I've seen before include "The lower earth, so to speak" , "Earth lying just under the surface" , "just below the ground" , "that's just below the surface?" , "found under the bed" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
