Fortifications (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

ramparts

defences

'fortifications' is the definition.
(rampart is a kind of fortification)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ramparts that I've seen before include "Earth banks as fortifications topped with parapets" , "used defensively" , "Defensive walling" , "Sheep bits for fortifications" , "Fortified earth banks topped with parapets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
