I've never seen this one mentioned before and I'm not 100% sure if it is no. 35, 36 or neither, but I passed it on the way to Carrowmore Tomb 37 (County Sligo).

This is a 15m diameter kerb circle with a single orthostat in the middle. If the remaining orthostat is the side of the old chamber of passage then, unlike so many other of the Carrowmore tombs, this one was aligned on Knocknarea (County Sligo).

Much of it is being engulfed by gorse, but it is still quite easy to make out at the moment.
