Lock for abandoned castle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tress

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'lock' is the first definition.
(both can mean a piece of hair)

'abandoned castle' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tress that I've seen before include "Switch" , "Long piece of hair" , "Rests (anag.)" , "Curl - lock" , "is a bit of a shock" .)
