Location accommodating a royal residence (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palace

'royal residence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'location accommodating a' is the wordplay.
'location' becomes 'place' (a location is a place).
'accommodating' indicates putting letters inside.
'place' enclosing 'a' is 'PALACE'.

(Other definitions for palace that I've seen before include "Sovereign's residence" , "Royal building" , "eg Buckingham" , "See 10" , "Royal mansion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
