Wailing woman who foretells death (7)

I believe the answer is:

banshee

(Other definitions for banshee that I've seen before include "Sign of imminent death" , "She predicts death in Ireland" , "Gaelic spirit" , "Wailing spirit that foretells death" , "Portent of death" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
