Small battle (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skirmish

'small battle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for skirmish that I've seen before include "offensive" , "Minor fight or conflict" , "Short conflict" , "Brief military engagement" , "Short engagement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
