Rail about garden implement (5)

I believe the answer is:

crake

'rail' is the definition.
(crake is a kind of rail)

'about garden implement' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'garden implement' becomes 'rake' (I've seen this before**).
'c'+'rake'='CRAKE'

(Another definition for crake that I've seen is " Rail".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
