Local dispute resulting in burial site (6)
I believe the answer is:
barrow
'burial site' is the definition.
'local dispute' is the wordplay.
'local' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'dispute' becomes 'row' (I've seen this before).
'bar'+'row'='BARROW'
'resulting in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for barrow that I've seen before include "Small cart with two wheels, or old burial mound" , "old burial ground" , "Small cart for a prehistoric burial mound" , "Cart for carrying small loads" , "Handcart; burial mound" .)
