    I.. doubt very much the Agelyss Wise is an Amaurotine remnant, simply due to pragmatism - we know Amaurot's location more or less on the Source would equate to where it is on the First (as in, underwater offshore from Vlybrand and roughly a little north-west of Limsa Lominsa), where as Agelyss Wise is on.. the opposite side of the island. Therefore it's clear we're not meant to take Agelyss Wise meaning 'ancient' as 'literal capital-A Ancient', but just... very old, from a past Astral Era. Possibly Allagan (there is a hint of a stone pathway leading down from the Castrum past Wineport.. but the stones are rather broken and mostly overgrown, so it's a bit of a longshot).

    After all, we already have the Royal Allagan Sunway and Royal Allagan Starway in Thanalan on Aldenard (and both were also in 1.0) which look a lot like Agelyss Wise - all three seem to be made from random stone blocks, like the Allagan Sunway/Starway, that look nothing like the crosshatched concrete paving blocks the Amaurotines used for their roads (of course weathering could have changed their appearence, but that's probably just grasping at straws).

    And we have to remember SE deliberately included a statement that neatly heads off this sort of discussion in ShB - where Y'shtola outright states that no remnants of Amaurot would still remain on the Source because the constant Calamities have changed the landscape so much they would have been obliterated long ago anyway.
