Monument not cheap to be rebuilt (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cenotaph

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

'not cheap to be rebuilt' is the wordplay.
'to be rebuilt' is an anagram indicator.
'not'+'cheap'='notcheap'
'notcheap' anagrammed gives 'CENOTAPH'.

(Other definitions for cenotaph that I've seen before include "Monument to people whose remains are interred elsewhere" , "Monument to those killed in war" , "Empty tomb" , "Monument built to honour soldiers who died in war" , "Monument honouring the fallen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
