Shaven crown of a monk's head (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonsure

(Other definitions for tonsure that I've seen before include "Result of shaving" , "Close-shaved hairstyle" , "Partial shaving of head" , "Removal of locks" , "Uncovered area on top" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
