Crossword Genius

Outhouse in Slough (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'outhouse' is the first definition.
(I know that shed is a type of outhouse)

'slough' is the second definition.
(both can mean to remove or lose)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shed that I've seen before include "Get rid of - hut" , "Slough - outbuilding" , "Abandon" , "Outbuilding for storage" , "In which tools may be" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
