Prickly case around a seed (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burr

(Other definitions for burr that I've seen before include "Rough or dialectic pronunciation: rough edge on metal" , "Rough edge after cutting" , "Seed vessel" , "impediment?" , "Whirring sound or small drill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
