Minor battle (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skirmish

'minor battle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for skirmish that I've seen before include "Minor battle engagement" , "Short period of fighting" , "clash" , "Brief military engagement" , "Encounter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
