EXMOOR, an extra-parochial liberty, in the hundred of Williton and Freemanners, W. division of Somerset. This was formerly a forest, and it is said that the wood was consumed in some iron-works near Exford. In the time of the Druids, the forest was one of the spots where their religious rites were celebrated, and here are several circular entrenchments, which it is supposed were thrown up for that purpose.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50953#s17 A Topographical Dictionary of England]'' (1848), pp. 195-206.
