Waymarker and clapper bridge 130m south of Barbrook Bridge is a medieval river crossing and associated waymarking feature located in Derbyshire. The clapper bridge, constructed from stone slabs laid across the watercourse, represents a practical medieval engineering solution for facilitating passage across Barbrook in an area of moorland terrain. The waymarker functioned as a directional indicator for travellers navigating this landscape, likely reflecting the importance of established routes through the Peak District during the medieval period. These structures together exemplify the infrastructure that supported medieval movement across the region.
