Annuls, being concerned with rings (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repeals

'annuls' is the definition.
(I know this)

'concerned with rings' is the wordplay.
'concerned with' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'rings' becomes 'peals' ('peal' can be a synonym of 'ring').
're'+'peals'='REPEALS'

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for repeals that I've seen before include "Annuls an act" , "Sets aside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
