Might be a clue in this newspaper article which place it near Moss-side?

Belfast Morning News, 14 Sept.1859: ... Carncullough Presbyterian Church, by the Rev. Alexander Field, James Ewin, Esq., Defferick, to Miss Margaret Ann M'Alister, of Drumduff, both near Moss-side.

Thank you to BallyaltikilliganG, Sinann, aghadowey and solidrock for your help and suggestions over the place name of Drumduff. 

 I follow up all clues. Also, I tried to focus on the grantor who sold the land, spelt as Drumduff, to see if that would help. Cleland was not a local name and from what I can gather Richard R Cleland was a landowner who lived elsewhere, so that track is closed.

Elwyn,
I have found the A36 in my road atlas but will need to google it to enlarge it sufficiently to see where the road runs through Glenwhirry.

Regards,

If you use the Griffiths maps, Shoptown is shown clearly on it. You can then user the slider bar to overlay a modern map to see it's location today. I have driven through it many times. There's a straggle of buildings along the road just near Glenwhirry church, which is also shown on the contemporaneous map.

Elwyn,

Thanks. I will try Griffiths map. I knew nothing about slider bars to overlay modern maps. I would have been a passenger travelling that road numerous times many years ago, however, didn't realise the connection with family history then.

Regards,
KiwiRose.

This is where Google says Shoptown is:

The Griffiths maps show it as more where those small roads are to the right of where 'Church Road' is written on the Google map.
