The hill to the right (3)
I believe the answer is:
tor
'the hill' is the definition.
(tor is a kind of hill)
'to the right' is the wordplay.
'the right' becomes 'R' (common abbreviation).
'to'+'r'='TOR'
(Other definitions for tor that I've seen before include "High, rocky, bare hill" , "(Dartmoor) rocky hill" , "Rot on rocky peak" , "Rot about the rocky height" , "Rocky outcrop" .)
