Where, in Ireland, a six-footer's on edge (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antrim

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

'where in ireland' is the definition.
'antrim' can be an answer for 'ireland' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'where in' bit.

'a six-footer's on edge' is the wordplay.
'a six-footer' becomes 'ant' (ants have six feet).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'edge' becomes 'rim' (rim is a kind of edge).
'ant'+'rim'='ANTRIM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antrim that I've seen before include "Ulster county" , "town in Ireland" , "Part of Ireland" , "NI town" , "Giant's Causeway county" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
