The river ends in a bay, here in Wales

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'here in wales' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.

'the river ends in a bay' is the wordplay.
'ends' suggests removing the centre.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'river' with its centre taken out is 'rr'.
'rr' going within 'bay' is 'BARRY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barry that I've seen before include "South Wales town -- boy's name" , "-- Island, Welsh resort" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
