Man in stronghold ... (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

castle

I believe this is a double definition.

'man' is the first definition.
('man' can mean a chess piece)

'stronghold' is the second definition.
(I know that castle is a type of citadel)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for castle that I've seen before include "man of 1d [ADVENTURE]" , "Left's Social Services secretary" , "ancient building?" , "a piece in the corner" , "Citadel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
