Measure enclosed space (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yard

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'enclosed space' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for yard that I've seen before include "Imperial unit of length" , "Court" , "short distance" , "Space outside" , "Enclosed area by building - old measure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
