burial

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

'the end of the line' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'british wild sheep' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'wild sheep' becomes 'urial' (urial is a kind of wild sheep).
'b'+'urial'='BURIAL'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for burial that I've seen before include "ending" , "Getting put in the ground" , "funeral service" , "Concealing something under the ground" , "Interment or entombment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
