Just to the right of the picture, and at right-angles to this stone, is a long slab embedded in the ground. I believe this to be part of a cairn. (It's a wonder there are any stones left on Dartmoor judging by the vigorous and enthusiastic neck-rubbing that was taking place when I met a herd of wild ponies here last week ! They seemed to favour the top end of the row, maybe because the stones are slightly higher here.)
