Shares buildings with squirrels (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stockpiles

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

'squirrels' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'shares buildings' is the wordplay.
'shares' becomes 'stock'.
'buildings' becomes 'piles' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'stock'+'piles'='STOCKPILES'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stockpiles that I've seen before include "Hoards" , "Gathers commodities" .)
