Soldiers' defensive ditch (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trench

(Other definitions for trench that I've seen before include "A ditch dug by soldiers" , "A military ditch for soldiers" , "depression" , "Military cut in the earth" , "Ditch, as a fortification say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
