Lash Pat badly with bituminous material (7)

I believe the answer is:

asphalt

(Other definitions for asphalt that I've seen before include "Road-surfacing material" , "Road surface material" , "Bituminous substance used in building" , "Bituminous road dressing" , "Dark substance used in road surfaces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
