The hills to the right, at Spithead (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tors

'the hills' is the definition.
(tor is a kind of hill)

'to the right at spithead' is the wordplay.
'the right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'spithead' becomes 's' (head letter of 'spit').
'to'+'r'+'s'='TORS'

(Another definition for tors that I've seen is " High rocky hills".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
