Travel to sacred ground that is located by church (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gods acre

'that is located by church' is the definition.
(term for a churchyard)

'travel to sacred ground' is the wordplay.
'travel' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'ground' indicates an anagram ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'sacred' with letters rearranged gives 'dsacre'.
'go'+'dsacre'='GODS ACRE'

(Other definitions for gods acre that I've seen before include "'Churchyard (4,4)'" , "ground near church" , "Burial ground" , "burial-ground" , "Remains here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
