See rib chops I demolished (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bishopric

'see' is the definition.
(both can mean a bishop's associated area)

'rib chops i demolished' is the wordplay.
'demolished' is an anagram indicator.
'rib'+'chops'+'i'='ribchopsi'
'ribchopsi' with letters rearranged gives 'BISHOPRIC'.

(Other definitions for bishopric that I've seen before include "Church office" , "position of a minister" , "Phobic sir (anag)" , "See - diocese" , "Episcopate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
