Tip about mine (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pit

'mine' is the definition.
(down the pit)

'tip about' is the wordplay.
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'tip' back-to-front is 'PIT'.

(Other definitions for pit that I've seen before include "A hole as for coal" , "Tip into hole" , "Tip into crater" , "Cherry stone" , "Where the orchestra sits at an opera" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
