I'm sorry if I've missed this on the forum or if I'm just being obtuse but after struggling with Sunday's Everyman all week I'm still stuck.
14A; King with work in store around westward citadel (9)
I have A - R - P - L - S and I'm certain that it must be Acropolis. I get the citadel (definition) and "store around" (silo). I presume the R is king but could someone please parse this for me so that I can finish before Sunday. Thanks.
For information, I have been able to complete Everyman until the last few weeks and I'm losing heart.

Around is Ca (circa) reading from West is Ac.
King is R.
Work is op.
store is silo.
Acropolis.

Thank you Rusty. I suspected "op" but I completely missed circa. Bless you.

If it's any consolation, stymied, others have also found the recent Everyman more difficult as there is a new setter apparently. see comments on this link
