Burrowing mollusc (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clam

'burrowing mollusc' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for clam that I've seen before include "Tightly closed shellfish" , "Proverbially reticent marine mollusc" , "Mollusc with firmly-closed shell" , "shy person" , "What could grip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
