Window of oiler shattered (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oriel

'window' is the definition.
(oriel is a kind of window)

'oiler shattered' is the wordplay.
'shattered' indicates an anagram.
'oiler' anagrammed gives 'ORIEL'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oriel that I've seen before include "Type of bay window" , "English college" , "Large snake" , "Overhanging recess (window)" , "Projecting window in upper storey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
