Pub noise? This can carry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barrow

'this can carry' is the definition.
(things are carried in a barrow)

'pub noise?' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'noise?' becomes 'row'.
'bar'+'row'='BARROW'

(Other definitions for barrow that I've seen before include "Handcart; burial mound" , "Northern town" , "Cart for one of the three sisters" , "Ancient burial mound" , "Garden cart" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
