Excluded, blocked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barred

I believe this is a double definition.

'excluded' is the first definition.
('bar' can be a synonym of 'exclude')

'blocked' is the second definition.
('bar' can be a synonym of 'block')

(Other definitions for barred that I've seen before include "Wouldn't allow" , "Precluded, obstructed" , "Excluded, blocked" , "Prohibited" , "Refused entry to local pub" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
