Notes: This was once known as Holwell Bridge although that name today applies to the modern 2014 footbridge over the Becka Brook downstream.

The remains of this clapper are in the brook below, though the east pier is very obvious. It seems that the clapper rested on a large in situ boulder on the west side.
