Line around an area to prevent entry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cordon

(Other definitions for cordon that I've seen before include "Line of guard to prevent access" , "Excellence in cooking is . . . . . . bleu" , "Line of guards to prevent entry" , "Line of guards; rope" , "Barrier surrounding an area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
