11ac - Porticos from Troy in very aged surrounds (5)
I can't decide on the last letter - E I or S? Maybe I am being particularly obtuse but I can't make sense of the wordplay here.
This is my only missing letter and it is SO frustrating.

Re previous - I favour S now as it is the last letter of "surrounds" and so makes sense finally

An ancient word for "very" is "ae",so the last letter is e

Thanks, AJT. I stand corrected and have learnt a new Latin word and its abbreviation.
