Mythical city found in field or a dockland (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

el dorado

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

'mythical city' is the definition.
'el dorado' can be an answer for 'city' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'mythical' bit.

'in field or a dockland' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EL DORADO' is hidden in the letters of 'field or a dockland'.

'found' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for el dorado that I've seen before include "Imaginary land of riches" , "A doodler in fabled land of gold" , "Fabled wealthy place" , "'Imaginary place of great wealth and opportunity (2,6)'" , "Fabled city of great riches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
