Welly-boot we regularly found in barge (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elbow

'barge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'welly-boot we regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'welly'+'boot'+'we'='wellybootwe'
The alternating letters of 'wellybootwe' are 'ELBOW'.

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for elbow that I've seen before include "part of the body" , "given to one about to leave" , "Sort of grease" , "Reject" , "Hinge joint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
