Pompeii covering (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "In fireplace it may be" , "Remnant from fire" , "Volcanic dust" , "Oleaceous tree" , "Tree in danger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the USA Today.
