An oval isle in legend? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avalon

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

'isle in legend?' is the definition.
'avalon' can be an answer for 'isle' (I have seen 'Mythical isle' mean 'avalon' so perhaps 'isle' could also mean 'avalon'). I am not sure about the 'in legend?' bit.

'an oval' is the wordplay.
'an oval' can be anagrammed to 'AVALON'.
Though, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avalon that I've seen before include "Isle of Celtic myth" , "Place where King Arthur was buried" , "Place where King Arthur was brought after death" , "Isle of the Blessed in Arthurian legend" , "Arthur's Seat" .)
