Monument captain's installed on pitch (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headstone

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

'monument' is the definition.
(headstone is a kind of monument)

'captain's installed on pitch' is the wordplay.
'captain's installed' becomes 'heads' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pitch' becomes 'tone' (tone is a kind of pitch).
'heads'+'tone'='HEADSTONE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for headstone that I've seen before include "Its stands over a grave, duly inscribed" , "Grave marker" , "Slab set at the head of a grave" , "Memorial on a grave" , "It is set up on a grave with inscriptions" .)
