Works the land undisturbed, taking spades back (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tills

'works' is the definition.
(tilling is a kind of working)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for tills that I've seen before include "Ploughs land" , "Cash registers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
