A hill in Pretoria (3)

I believe the answer is:

tor

'a hill' is the definition.
(tor is a kind of hill)

'in pretoria' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'TOR' can be found hidden inside 'pretoria'.

(Other definitions for tor that I've seen before include "Rot on a hill in Cornwall" , "feature of Glastonbury" , "Fermenting agent" , "Rot about the rocky height" , "Dartmoor peak" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
