Ritual pile (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pyre

(Other definitions for pyre that I've seen before include "Funerary heap" , "Pile of wood for burning as at ancient funeral" , "Woodpile for burning the dead" , "Fire for burning corpse" , "Heap for cremating a corpse" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
