Small hallowed bottles (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

low

'small' is the definition.
('low' can be a synonym of 'small')

'hallowed bottles' is the wordplay.
'bottles' says the answer is hidden in the clue (bottling is a kind of containing).
'LOW' is hidden within 'hallowed'.

(Other definitions for low that I've seen before include "Deep sound of cattle - not high" , "Humble; dejected" , "something from Guernsey?" , "Inferior, cow's call" , "Make a bovine sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
