Statement of Interest

The building was used by herring fishers for treatment to their nets. Nets were immersed in a tannin-rich bark extract, 'cutch', obtained from India, which strengthened them and increased their density and weight. The building is in a dilapidated condition (1993). Remains of a further barking house at Catacol contain boilers.
