Hi Tobius Thanks for the comment. Any idea why it has that name?

Hi John,A clapper bridge is just a simple structure.It was used by lead miners.

Most surviving clapper bridges only date to the medieval period. The term “clapper” comes from the Anglo-Saxon cleaca, “to bridge stepping stones,” which provides some hints into the origins of the clapper bridge.
