I tar boat (anag.) (8)

I believe the answer is:

abattoir

(Other definitions for abattoir that I've seen before include "scene of slaughter" , "Damage (metal) by chemical action" , "building where blood is shed" , "Make smile for camera" , "Animal slaughter-house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
