Place in Jerusalem to obtain ham seen vandalised (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gethsemane

'place in jerusalem' is the definition.
(biblical location)

'obtain ham seen vandalised' is the wordplay.
'obtain' becomes 'get' (synonyms).
'vandalised' indicates an anagram.
'ham'+'seen'='hamseen'
'hamseen' with letters rearranged gives 'hsemane'.
'get'+'hsemane'='GETHSEMANE'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for gethsemane that I've seen before include "Biblical garden" , "Site of Jesus's arrest" , "place of betrayal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
