Shape of Kennington? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oval

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

'shape' is the definition.
(oval is a kind of shape)

'of kennington?' is the wordplay.
'of' becomes 'o''.
'kennington?' becomes 'val' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'val'='OVAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oval that I've seen before include "Curved shape" , "Easter gift" , "Shape of 25" , "34 [CRICKETER] 's domain" , "not quite round" .)
