Clapper Bridges were built on Dartmoor from about 1400 to carry packhorse trade routes over rivers and streams. The bridges consist of one or more large slabs. When several slabs were required to cross a river then stone piers were built well clear of the water. Unfortunately Dartmeet Clapper fell into disrepair when a more substantial road bridge was built.
