Structural support spanning a window (6)

I believe the answer is:

lintel

(Other definitions for lintel that I've seen before include "Support across the top of a door" , "Supporting beam over a door" , "It's found above the door" , "Supporter" , "Top of door or window frame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
