Limit a large town's size (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

capacity

'size' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'limit a large town's' is the wordplay.
'limit' becomes 'cap' (capping is a kind of limiting).
'large town' becomes 'city' (I've seen this before).
'cap'+'a'+'city'='CAPACITY'

(Other definitions for capacity that I've seen before include "Ability, volume" , "how much can one take?" , "Ability to contain or accommadate" , "Size of stadium" , "The amount that can be contained, space" .)
