Get old men to build a place to stay (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lodgement

'a place to stay' is the definition.

'get old men to build' is the wordplay.
'to build' is an anagram indicator.
'get'+'old'+'men'='getoldmen'
'getoldmen' is an anagram of 'LODGEMENT'.

(Other definitions for lodgement that I've seen before include "Temporary residence" , "accommodation" , "position in enemy territory" , "Occupied position" , "cash deposit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
