From Wikipedia:

The Tarr Steps is a prehistoric clapper bridge across the River Barle in Exmoor, Somerset, England.

A typical clapper bridge construction, the bridge dates to c.1000 BC. The stone slabs weigh up to 5 tons apiece. According to local legend, they were placed by the devil to win a bet.
