Clapper bridge about 20 metres north of Dartmeet Bridge (formerly listed as remains of Clapper Bridge)
23.8.55
GV
II
Clapper bridge crossing East Dart river. C17 or earlier. Granite. A bridge of five spans with abutments and piers made up of large, natural boulders piled up unmortared, one on top of the other. Two of the spans are each crossed by a single broad lintel or clapper-stone, about 1 metre wide, but the other three spans now have no lintels at all. These were washed away in the great flood of 4 August 1826 (Exeter Flying Post, 10.8.1826). The bridge makes an excellent group with Dartmeet bridge (q.v., 20 metres to the south).
The asset was previously listed twice also at List entry 1170696. This entry was removed from the List on 7th March 2016.
This entry was subject to a Minor Amendment on 8th March 2016.
