Pleas about rings (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peals

'rings' is the definition.
('peal' can be a synonym of 'ring')

'pleas about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'pleas' with letters rearranged gives 'PEALS'.

(Other definitions for peals that I've seen before include "Loud sounds of bells or laughter" , "Lapse in bell sounds" , "Leaps about with bursts of laughter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
