Truck stop around the outskirts of Rosslare (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

port

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

'outskirts of rosslare' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'truck stop around the' is the wordplay.
'truck stop' becomes 'transport cafe' (I've seen this before).
'around' says to take the centre.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
The middle of 'transportcafe' is 'por'.
'por'+'t'='PORT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for port that I've seen before include "Saint John, for one, > left" , "Stanley perhaps" , "Wine - left - harbour" , "Isle in Dorset" , "Ship's left - Dover, perhaps" .)
