Cap rip an ts

How about -

Cap (cover end of) rip (tear) an (one) ts ('st[one]', upended) (?)

Question Author

Thanks to both of you above.
@thestath That's what I thought it might be but it doesn't account for the superfluous words "end of"?

@Lie-in King again that was another possibility in my mind but again doesn't explain the redundant "end of".

Maybe I'm just being too picky?

Cap = "cover end of"

Question Author

Yes indeed Lie-in King. Cap as a verb not a noun. Azed's clues can be very mischievoussnd misleading at times. 

Thanks a lot.

Question Author

And of course @thestath yours was correct too. 😊 So I'm marking you and Lie-in King as joint best answers. 🤣
