The sad sculpture beneath which I must go? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headstone

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

'i must go?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'the sad sculpture beneath' is the wordplay.
'sculpture' indicates an anagram.
'beneath' becomes 'one' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'the'+'sad'='thesad'
'thesad' is an anagram of 'headst'.
'headst'+'one'='HEADSTONE'

'which' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for headstone that I've seen before include "Its stands over a grave, duly inscribed" , "Slab set at the head of a grave" , "It is set up on a grave with inscriptions" , "Grave marker" , "It marks a grave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
