Last letter presented to individual in specific place (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'specific place' is the definition.
'zone' can be an answer for 'place' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'specific' bit.

'last letter presented to individual' is the wordplay.
'last letter' becomes 'Z' (last letter of the alphabet).
'presented to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'z'+'one'='ZONE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for zone that I've seen before include "Region; time area" , "One of five belts round the earth" , "Particular area or sector" , "A defined area as for particular purpose" , "Section" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
