One patch is laid out as a memorial (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cenotaph

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

'one patch is laid out' is the wordplay.
'is laid out' is an anagram indicator.
'one'+'patch'='onepatch'
'onepatch' is an anagram of 'CENOTAPH'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for cenotaph that I've seen before include "Feature of Whitehall" , "Whitehall memorial" , "Tomb-like monument to people buried elsewhere" , "Monument to those killed in war" , "Monument honouring persons buried elsewhere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
