Description

The clapper bridge, located about 20 metres north of Dartmeet Bridge, dates from the 17th century or earlier. It crosses the East Dart River and is constructed from granite. The bridge features five spans supported by abutments and piers made of large, natural boulders stacked without mortar. Two of the spans are each covered by a single broad lintel or clapper-stone, approximately 1 metre wide, while the other three spans currently lack lintels due to their removal in the significant flood of 4 August 1826. This bridge forms an excellent group with Dartmeet Bridge, which is situated 20 metres to the south.
