Ungodly and faint-hearted person is buried in barren land (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heathenish

'ungodly' is the definition.

'faint-hearted person is buried in barren land' is the wordplay.
'faint-hearted person' becomes 'hen'.
'buried in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'barren land' becomes 'heath'.
'hen'+'is'='henis'
'henis' put into 'heath' is 'HEATHENISH'.

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for heathenish that I've seen is " Lacking culture or religious principles".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
