Woman in vehicle round loch (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carol

'woman' is the definition.

'vehicle round loch' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'loch' becomes 'l'.
'car'+'o'+'l'='CAROL'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for carol that I've seen before include "Song, especially at Christmas" , "Song celebrating the birth of Jesus" , "See 1" , "and 27: Waits" , "Joyful hymn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
