It is formed by large flat slabs of stone, often granite or schist, supported on stone piers (across rivers), or resting on the banks of streams. ==History== 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".〔French and Provençal ''clapier'' developed the additional significance of a rabbit warren.
