Measure a paved area (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'measure' is the first definition.
(yard is a kind of measure)

'a paved area' is the second definition.
'yard' can be an answer for 'area' (yard is a kind of area). I'm not certain of the 'a paved' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yard that I've seen before include "Three feet; enclosure" , "Court" , "Enclosure by house" , "compound" , "Quad; a length" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
