Boar at it gets butchered (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abattoir

'boar at it gets butchered' is the definition.
(where animals get killed)

'boar at it gets butchered' is the wordplay.
'gets butchered' indicates an anagram.
'boar'+'at'+'it'='boaratit'
'boaratit' anagrammed gives 'ABATTOIR'.

(Other definitions for abattoir that I've seen before include "scene of slaughter" , "Damage (metal) by chemical action" , "A slaughter house for cattle" , "place where animals die" , "shambles once" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
