Maybe not a weight? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ton

'a weight?' is the definition.
(ton is a kind of weight)

'maybe not' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'not' anagrammed gives 'TON'.

(Other definitions for ton that I've seen before include "High-speed" , "Unit of weight equivalent to 2240 pounds" , "Style" , "Fashionable" , "Imperial unit of weight" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
