Set foot in central area to see Dorset castle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

corfe

'dorset castle' is the definition.
(Corfe Castle is a ruined castle in Dorset)

'set foot in central area' is the wordplay.
'set foot' becomes 'f' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'set' bit.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'central area' becomes 'core' (core can mean something's centre).
'f' put into 'core' is 'CORFE'.

'to see' acts as a link.

(Another definition for corfe that I've seen is " Dorset village with castle".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
