Crossword Genius

Inside place, not a pharaoh's empty tomb (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cenotaph

'empty tomb' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'inside place not a pharaoh's' is the wordplay.
'inside' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'CENOTAPH' is hidden in the letters of 'place not a pharaohs'.

(Other definitions for cenotaph that I've seen before include "Tomb-like monument to people buried elsewhere" , "Monument to the war dead" , "Monument to people whose remains are interred elsewhere" , "Empty tomb" , "Monument honouring persons buried elsewhere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
