Trees may be in this meadow at Flamborough Head (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leaf

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

'trees may be in this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'meadow at flamborough head' is the wordplay.
'meadow' becomes 'lea' (I've seen this before).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'head' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'flamborough' is 'f'.
'lea'+'f'='LEAF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leaf that I've seen before include "See 1" , "Page or piece of foliage" , "Thin sheet of metal" , "Page; piece of tree" , "Sheet of written material" .)
