Tarr Steps is a clapper bridge across the River Barle in Exmoor National Park, about 180 feet long with 17 spans, made of stone slabs weighing up to two tons each. It is a scheduled monument and a Grade I listed building, and is thought to be medieval in origin.
According to the Exmoor Historic Environment Record's page on legend and archaeology, the Devil built the bridge to use as a sun lounger. A local parson negotiated with him in a verbal contest and secured public access whenever the Devil was not there. The same page ties other Exmoor features to him: the scattered stones at Mounsey Castle came from his broken apron strings as he carried stones for the bridge, and a throwing contest between the Devil and a giant produced the Whit Stones.
The structure itself is an ancient crossing, and its heavy slabs without mortar are the likely reason for the story: it looked too big for human hands. Wikipedia's article on the bridge describes the architecture and flood history but does not mention the legend, so the folklore rests on the Exmoor record.
