Lets her rebuilt refuge (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shelter

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

'lets her rebuilt' is the wordplay.
'rebuilt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lets'+'her'='letsher'
'letsher' anagrammed gives 'SHELTER'.

(Other definitions for shelter that I've seen before include "harbour" , "Shield as from rain" , "'Refuge, cover (7)'" , "Refuge; protect" , "retreat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
