Pub disturbance in northern town (6)
I believe the answer is:
barrow
'northern town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pub disturbance' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'disturbance' becomes 'row' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bar'+'row'='BARROW'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barrow that I've seen before include "Northern town" , "Small cart with two wheels, or old burial mound" , "Cart for one of the three sisters" , "Handcart; burial mound" , "Load-carrying cart - burial mound" .)
