Retain possession of stronghold (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keep

This clue is a double definition.

'retain possession of' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stronghold' is the second definition.
(keep is a kind of stronghold)

(Other definitions for keep that I've seen before include "Conserve" , "Central tower of castle" , "Main tower of a medieval castle" , "Save" , "Only one cricketer on field will" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
