EXMOOR, a liberty (extra-parochial) in the hundred of WILLITON-AND-FREEMANNERS, county of SOMERSET, containing 113 inhabitants. This was formerly a forest, and it is said that most of the wood was consumed in some iron-works near Exford, where the pits from which the ore was dug are still visible: a considerable part of this wild romantic waste has lately been brought into cultivation. In the time of the Druids, the forest was one of the spots where their religious rites were celebrated, and here are several circular intrenchments, which it is supposed were thrown up for that purpose.
