Type of brick (5)
I believe the answer is:
adobe
'type of brick' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for adobe that I've seen before include "Clay used for sun-dried bricks" , "Mexican mud and straw brick, and the hut made of it" , "Building material of clay and straw dried in the sun" , "house" , "Clay dwelling" .)
