U-shaped loop in a stream (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oxbow

(Other definitions for oxbow that I've seen before include "Horseshoe shaped bend in a river" , "Lake formed by a bend in a river" , "Small curved lake" , "large bend" , "Cut-off loop of river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
