Where deal may be had by mad ruler on the move? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lumberyard

'where deal may be' is the definition.
(deal is a type of wood or lumber)

'by mad ruler on the move?' is the wordplay.
'on the move?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'on the move' mean this).
'by'+'mad'+'ruler'='bymadruler'
'bymadruler' is an anagram of 'LUMBERYARD'.

'had' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
