Jerseys, perhaps, raised in particular place (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spot

'particular place' is the definition.
(spot can mean a location)

'jerseys perhaps raised' is the wordplay.
'jerseys perhaps' becomes 'tops' (jersey is a type of top).
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'tops' reversed gives 'SPOT'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for spot that I've seen before include "Mark, dot" , "Small mark; observe" , "clock" , "Pickle" , "Sight - site" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
