Crossword Genius

Some disgrace, yes, or especially hideous sights (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyesores

'hideous sights' is the definition.
(term for an ugly building)

'some disgrace yes or especially' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'EYESORES' can be found hidden inside 'disgrace yes or especially'.

(Other definitions for eyesores that I've seen before include "Very ugly and offensive sights" , "Carbuncles" , "They are offensive to see" , "They're very ugly to the eye" , "unattractive prospects" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
