The term 'clapper bridge' is a term used on Dartmoor for a bridge which has one or more flat slabs of stones which rest on stone piers and thus spans a river or stream. This bridge also appears on John Ogilby's Exeter to Truro road map of 1675 where it is marked as "a Stone bridge, 3 Arches Called Post bridge."
