Race around some land (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acre

'some land' is the definition.
(unit of land)

'race around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'race' with letters rearranged gives 'ACRE'.

(Other definitions for acre that I've seen before include "Care about the piece of land" , "Mediterranean port" , "stretch of land" , "Unit of area - Israeli port" , "Square measure of land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
