19A - Eastern oil,ruined in taste - it's prehistoric !
I have PALA?OL??E and am stuck. The puzzle is qualified by reference to Chambers (2014) which I don't have and apparently this clue can be verified on the Internet , what does this mean ? and where should I look ?
I think the penultimate letter is R
Any help welcomed as usual.

Dobbo, I've been trying... but haven't come up with anything, sorry. It looks as if the answer could be an anagram (ruined) of Palate, taste, and E, Eastern and Oil - but I tried that in online anagram solvers and got nothing. I was expecting a word such as Palaeolite, which looks as if it'd mean 'prehistoric'.

Thank you for this - I had 8D with a wrong ending which your solution made me re-examine.

Nearly done, but 10d. causing me problems, which probably means I've gone wrong somewhere else. 'Meeting place? Test street corner,
circling river meadow (12)' I think it starts with an E, but don't want to suggest any other letters in case I mislead you. Thanks for your help!

Thank you! I was so sure about 4 across, too. Your answer fits in with several other answers I have - doh!
