Description
The clapper bridge, located about 60 meters southeast of West Shallowford Farmhouse, spans the West Webburn River and connects the roads between East and West Shallowford farmhouses. It is likely from the 18th century or early 19th century and constructed of granite rubble. The bridge features three spans supported by a series of broad granite lintels that rest on piers and abutments made of large, roughly-shaped granite blocks. The central lintel on the upstream side has been replaced with small stones that are held up by an iron strip. The parapets are topped with coping stones made of roughly-dressed granite blocks, and the ends of the parapets flare outward at the base, resembling buttresses, and are finished with the same type of coping stone.
