View NNE of Postbridge clapper bridge crossing the East Dart River on Dartmoor, Devon, UK: three massive granite slabs are supported on 2 granite piers in the river. Often said to be prehistoric but most likely Medieval (C13th), it carried packhorse & other traffic across the river for around 500 years until the adjacent B3212 road bridge was constructed in the late C18th.
