Right at home, interrupting woman in holy place? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shrine

'holy place?' is the definition.
(holy site dedicated to a particular person)

'right at home interrupting woman' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'interrupting' is an insertion indicator.
'woman' becomes 'she' ().
'r'+'in'='rin'
'rin' going into 'she' is 'SHRINE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shrine that I've seen before include "Holy place with special associations" , "Tomb or monument of a saint" , "Holy site of relics etc" , "here to pray?" , "temple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
