A Kent resort may be captured (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taken

'be captured' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a kent resort' is the wordplay.
'resort' is an anagram indicator (re-sort the letters).
'a'+'kent'='akent'
'akent' with letters rearranged gives 'TAKEN'.

'may' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for taken that I've seen before include "Obtained" , "Removed (from a place)" , "Appropriated" , "Removed; occupied" , "Stolen; occupied" .)
