Plenty are an awkward shape (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heaps

'plenty' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'an awkward shape' is the wordplay.
'an awkward' indicates an anagram.
'shape' anagrammed gives 'HEAPS'.

'are' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for heaps that I've seen before include "Mounds; lots" , "A large number; untidy mounds" , "Mounds, stacks" , "Shape (anag) - lots" , "Lots (of piles?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
