Phoenix's birthplace (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashes

'phoenix's birthplace' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ashes that I've seen before include "International competition" , "Remains of anything burnt" , "` `..... to ....., dust to dust' ' (prayer)" , "Remains from a cremation" , "Burnt residue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
