Spooner's other half meeting old king in confined space (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cubbyhole

'confined space' is the definition.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for cubbyhole that I've seen before include "Place for keeping bits and bobs" , "Recess to contain miscellaneous objects" , "Small enclosed space or room" , "Small compartment, room space" , "Snug enclosed space" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
