I crest the hill and it's clear we're on the moor proper. The grass changes to swathes of sandy tufts. The wind is freer.
And here, beyond the crest in a dip, hidden from Down Tor, is the circle. A few cattle graze nearby, but other than them there is suddenly a sense of isolation. It's welcome. The stones seem to demand it.

Later at home I read this excellent blog that includes information on their alignment with the sun. dartmoorcam.co.uk/CAM/previous

A view across the moor to the stone circle. One larger stone standing between it and the stone row that's runs away into the distance. The grass is sandy and long, but green around the stones and row where it has been well walked.
Closer look at the stones, grey granite, lichen spotted. Small and haphazard in shape.
A view down the row of stones, that run in a near perfect line. The head stone is close to the camera and mottled with moss and lichens
The head stone alone. The moor behind. It is tall, slim, grey granite, with mottled yellows and greens of lichen across it.
