Transport me with large hamper (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trammel

'hamper' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'transport me with large' is the wordplay.
'transport' becomes 'tram' (tram is a kind of transport).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'tram'+'me'+'l'='TRAMMEL'

(Other definitions for trammel that I've seen before include "Hamper, as drag-net does" , "Constrain, impede" , "Hobble" , "Hinder - impede" , "Place limits on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Guardian.
