Sat back in barn and hid supplies (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stashed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hid supplies' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't see how one could define the other.

'sat back in barn' is the wordplay.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'barn' becomes 'shed' (I've seen this before).
'sat' written backwards gives 'tas'.
'tas' put within 'shed' is 'STASHED'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stashed that I've seen before include "Saved up for future use" , "Stored away in a safe place" , "hidden away" , "'Hoarded, squirrelled away (7)'" , "hidden from view" .)
