Thrown, Vulcan takes refuge in hut (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shied

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

'thrown vulcan' is the definition.
'shied' can be an answer for 'thrown' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'vulcan' bit.

'refuge in hut' is the wordplay.
'refuge' becomes 'i' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'hut' becomes 'shed' (hut in a garden).
'i' put within 'shed' is 'SHIED'.

'takes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shied that I've seen before include "Cast" , "Thrown" , "horse did this?" , "Flung, tossed" , "started" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
