[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Thanks all :)

[Neveracrossword]

Glad we could help, Fleshpots.

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

This is literally all I have left...

Hints & clues accepted for -

73a Earthy rocks in "uneven" hole having no roof (9) 

77a My university banks in northern Port (7) 

I have letters for both but that doesn't really help if there's a missing letter, so hints are probably better for the whole word. Thanks in advance.

77 The My isn't possessive, more Gee! the usual University and the usual 'banks' (of a word). The last letter is missing from 'the place' (town, city?)

[Neveracrossword]

I'd never seen the 73 A word before - I'd need to look out my copy to recheck the spelling! There's an anagram of 'earthy' involved, I think.

[Neveracrossword]

Sorry, Fleshpots - I shoved in town, city, I should have stuck with the clue's Port!

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Thanks Nev, I've got the port, now need to tackle this beast of a word at 73. Can you say where in the answer the letter is missing from? 

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Fleshpots. The third letter of the answer is missing from the entry.

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Got the blighter! 
Phew! Glad Christmas only comes once a year ;) 

[Neveracrossword]

Fleshpots, glad you got there. I was very relieved when I solved that pesky clue, 73 A - but it was nice to learn a new word (which I will probably never use).

thank you nac & scorpiojo, this helped me finish too, but I didn't enjoy it despite the mag's good wishes - don't like entering non-words
