Re-built from scratch and opened in 2011. The newly-erected smaller pub replaces the former Chieftain (once named the Woodman) which was demolished following a fire. It once boasted the longest bar in Hertfordshire. It now caters for a wide customer base in a welcoming atmosphere. The name is a nod to the Catuvellauni tribe burial chamber found locally in the 1960's. Many of the artefacts now feature at the British Museum. Quiz night is Tuesday and the pub menu features pub classics, burgers and grills.
