Cemetery: Old Shankill Cemetery, Shankill *********************************************** Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives Roscommon Index Copyright ************************************************ File contributed by: Anna Ryan annaryan001@hotmail.com OLD SHANKILL CEMETERY, SHANKILL, CO. ROSCOMMON Take a right turn at the post office in Elphin. Travel for about 2 miles. This cemetery is at a crossroad and though not signposted can be seen from the road. According to locals this was the original cemetery used for Elphin. Old Shankill Cemetery is very old. Some of the stones are only stumps and cannot be read.
