Pub disturbance in northern town (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barrow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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" .)
