Crossword Genius

Statue in Lima more damaged (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

memorial

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

'lima more damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lima'+'more'='limamore'
'limamore' anagrammed gives 'MEMORIAL'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for memorial that I've seen before include "may be brass" , "Monument to commemorate" , "Serving to commemorate the dead" , "statement of facts" , "Monument to past events" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
