Money buried under street or seashore? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strand

'seashore?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'money buried under street' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'rand' (currency of South Africa).
'buried under' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters go underneath others).
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'rand' after 'st' is 'STRAND'.

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for strand that I've seen before include "Maroon; beach" , "Maroon - filament" , "Beach or shore" , "Drive aground on shore" , "Abandon on the seashore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
