Lies about Man? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isle

'man?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lies about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lies' is an anagram of 'ISLE'.

(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "-- of Ely, Dogs, Man" , "---- of Dogs, Thames peninsula" , "A poetic island" , "man with capital?" , "somewhere surrounded by water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
