Horrors concealed in the gorse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogres

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

'horrors' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'concealed in the gorse' is the wordplay.
'concealed in' indicates an anagram.
'gorse' anagrammed gives 'OGRES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ogres that I've seen before include "Formidable people" , "Monsters can be goers" , "Awful brutes" , "Giants in fairytales" , "Terrifying types" .)
