Our stated time (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hour

'time' is the definition.
(unit of time)

'our stated' is the wordplay.
'stated' shows a homophone (sound like) (as it might sound when said aloud or stated).
'our' is a homophone of 'HOUR'.

(Other definitions for hour that I've seen before include "Clock time" , "When it cometh, so doth the man!" , "Length of time" , "Unit of time" , "A 24th of a day" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
