Noble pile free to go round (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

life peer

'noble' is the definition.
(life peer is a kind of noble)

'pile free to go round' is the wordplay.
'to go round' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pile'+'free'='pilefree'
'pilefree' is an anagram of 'LIFE PEER'.

(Other definitions for life peer that I've seen before include "Person appointed to the House of Lords" , "House of Lords member whose title cannot be inherited" , "Member of House of Lords whose title is not hereditary" , "One legislates" , "House of Lords appointee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
