Some seven miles West of Louisburgh, near the villages of Killeen and Killadoon lies Bunlahinch Clapper Footbridge. It is a unique and interesting feature, with an interesting history. The bridge is a low, curving construction, 130ft long, formed of 38 boulders spanned by slabs of stone, and takes walkers across a wide but shallow ford. This picturesque and remarkable Clapper Bridge takes its name from the word Clapper which is the plural for the Anglo-Saxon word 'Clam' and signifies a construction which is Roman in origin and consists of a row of two uprights crossed by a topping slab.
The area was formerly known locally as 'The Colony', but it's past is seldom talked about and few are willing to recall the memories of its brief and shameful existence. This is because it was really known as a "Colony of Jumpers", so called because the village came into being as a result of the practice known as souperism.
Spanning the River Avon near Huntingdon Cross this clapper bridge is in a wonderful location.
Built around the 15th century or possible later as some markings on the granite are from more more modern cutting techniques.
Visited on the 1st September 2015 after a wet few days at the end of August.

Postbridge is a hamlet in the heart of Dartmoor in the English county of Devon. It is situated on the B3212, between Princetown and Moretonhampstead. On the East Dart river, one of two main tributaries of the River Dart.
Best known for a fine example of an ancient clapper bridge over the river. First recorded in the 14th century, the bridge is believed to have been built in the 13th century to enable pack horses to cross the river, carrying tin to the stannary town of Tavistock. The clapper bridge is still complete, and stands alongside today's structure (in background on video), built in the 1780s.

A clapper bridge is an ancient form of bridge found on the moors of Devon (Dartmoor and Exmoor) and in other upland areas of the United Kingdom including Snowdonia and Anglesey. It is formed by large flat slabs of granite or schist supported on stone piers (across rivers), or resting on the banks of streams.
Although often credited with prehistoric origin, most were erected in medieval times, and some in later centuries. They are often situated close to a ford where carts could cross. According to the Dartmoor National Park, the word 'clapper' derives ultimately from an Anglo-Saxon word, cleaca, meaning 'bridging the stepping stones'; the Oxford English Dictionary gives the intermediate Medieval Latin form clapus, claperius, "of Gaulish origin", with an initial meaning of "a pile of stones".
A fine example, the Postbridge Clapper Bridge (illustration, left), can be found at Postbridge, on Dartmoor. Its slabs are over four metres (13 ft) long, two metres (6 ft 6 in) wide and weigh over eight tons each, making the bridge passable to a small cart. It was first recorded in 1380 and was built to facilitate the transportation of Dartmoor tin by pack horses to the stannary town of Tavistock.

Engineers began the painstaking process of rebuilding one of Britain's oldest bridges - after the 1,000-year-old crossing was washed away in floods. The ancient 180ft Tarr Steps clapper bridge, situated on the River Barle in Exmoor, Somerset, dates back over a millenium. But the medieval crossing - made from 17 ancient stones - was washed away by a 10ft wall of flood water on December 22. Engineers moved on to the site to begin the process of lifting the two-tonne slabs out of the water with heavy lifting machinery.

Engineers began the painstaking process of rebuilding one of Britain's oldest bridges - after the 1,000-year-old crossing was washed away in floods. The ancient 180ft Tarr Steps clapper bridge, situated on the River Barle in Exmoor, Somerset, dates back over a millenium. But the medieval crossing - made from 17 ancient stones - was washed away by a 10ft wall of flood water on December 22. Engineers moved on to the site to begin the process of lifting the two-tonne slabs out of the water with heavy lifting machinery.
