Minor attraction mounted (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ward

'minor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'attraction mounted' is the wordplay.
'attraction' becomes 'draw' ('draw' can be a synonym of 'attraction').
'mounted' is a reversal indicator.
'draw' in reverse letter order is 'WARD'.

(Other definitions for ward that I've seen before include "Separate room" , "Minor in the charge of a guardian" , "Electoral district; Mrs Humphry ---" , "Hospital room; part of borough" , "Doctor in 5A 1D [PROFUMO AFFAIR]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
