According to Ball (1902, 3, 81) a church at Shankill stood at the gateway leading to Shankill castle. It was in use in the 13th century (Ball 1902, 117). It is associated with St. Comgall, abbot of Bangor, Co. Down (Turner 1983, 64-5). There are no visible remains of this church.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
