Used a shovel (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dug

'used a shovel' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dug that I've seen before include "Delved; teat" , "Breast of female mammal" , "Used a spade" , "Excavated" , "Udder or teat" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Universal and the Newsday.
