Resolution of dispute in village? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settlement

This clue is a double definition.

'resolution of dispute' is the first definition.

'village?' is the second definition.
(village is a kind of settlement)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for settlement that I've seen before include "Resolution" , "Community; agreement" , "Dispute-resolving agreement" , "local community" , "Reservation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
