Aghavrin Clapper Bridge straddles the townlands of Aghavrin and Shanavagha, at the eastern end of Mullinhassig Wood & Waterfalls, and is located {{convert|4|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of Coachford village in County Cork, Ireland.

Clapper bridges are composed of a series of stone piers or blocks, which support slabs, so as to form bridges.[1] The word 'clapper' is derived from the Latin claperium, a 'pile of stones'.[2]

This bridge is depicted on both the 1841 and 1901 surveyed OS maps, and appears to have been in use for many years, as a crossing point over the River Glashagarriff (Glaise Gharbh in the Irish language meaning 'rough rivulet').[3]

It collapsed in recent times due to flood damage.[4]
