Sort of brief observation (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

watching

This clue is a double definition.

'sort of brief' is the first definition.
(watching brief, type of brief given to a barrister)

'observation' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for watching that I've seen before include "Viewing" , "Keeping an eye on" , "Observing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
