Time in Ross-on-Wye area (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

year

'time' is the definition.
(I know that time can be written as year)

'ross-on-wye area' is the wordplay.
'YEAR' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for year that I've seen before include "Complete cycle of seasons" , "Group of students" , "Manage" , "Orbital period" , "Time taken by a planet to orbit the sun" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
